IBP

Installed Building Products, Inc.

A national installer of insulation and complementary building products such as garage doors, rain gutters, and shower doors for residential and commercial builders. It began in 1977 as a single-location insulation business in Columbus, Ohio, bought by the father of longtime chief executive Jeff Edwards, who took charge in the mid-1990s and grew the company through hundreds of acquisitions while keeping local names and managers in place. The firm went public in 2014 and now ranks among the largest building-product installers in the country.
