LOS ANGELES, July 31, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Platinum Equity announced today that it has completed the acquisition of Tangent Technologies (“Tangent”), a leading manufacturer of high-performance synthetic materials utilized across a wide range of outdoor living, marine, decking, fencing, infrastructure and other industrial markets. Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
Headquartered in Aurora, Illinois, Tangent is a leading manufacturer of high-performance synthetic materials used for outdoor living, site amenities, structural applications and marine decking. In recent years, these premium HDPE materials have become a leading substitute for traditional building materials given their durability, low maintenance and aesthetics. Tangent manufactures its products using a combination of post-consumer and post-industrial recycled feedstock.
The company operates a diversified portfolio of product categories, including lumber, sheet and structural solutions used in decking, docks, fencing and infrastructure applications. Tangent’s vertically integrated manufacturing platform, which includes significant recycling capabilities, enables cost efficiency and supports sustainability initiatives.
Tangent’s R&D capabilities have helped the company establish a valuable intellectual property portfolio and a reputation for innovation, as it continuously advances the material science behind durable, weather-resistant and environmentally conscious products. The company is the exclusive manufacturer of a patented woodgrain product line that combines the performance of its high-performance synthetic materials with the beauty of natural wood.
Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP served as legal advisor to Platinum Equity on the acquisition of Tangent and Alston & Bird LLP provided financing counsel to Platinum Equity on the transaction.
