“Medallion’s high quality product lines, vast product engineering capabilities, technical expertise, and custom molds and tooling provide us with the opportunity to continue to drive our business model through expansion into other industrial markets, as well as further increase our RV content per unit,” said Andy Nemeth, President of Patrick. “Consistent with previous acquisitions, we will support Medallion with a financial and operational foundation that will allow it to capitalize on its core competencies while preserving the entrepreneurial spirit that has been so important to its success.”
Bob Toth, President of Medallion, said, “After more than 40 years in business, our exceptional team is excited to partner with the Patrick organization whose strong focus on customer service coupled with our technology and manufacturing processes in the markets we serve will help further grow the Medallion brand. Patrick is a natural fit for our operation as we are poised to achieve the next level in our strategic growth plan.”

The acquisition of Medallion included the acquisition of accounts receivable, inventory, prepaid expenses, and machinery and equipment, and was funded under the Company’s existing credit facility. Patrick will continue to operate the business on a stand-alone basis under the Medallion brand name in its four existing facilities.
