Quebec’s Novik considered for purchase by Clearview Capital

Novik Inc., a Quebec City-based manufacturer of polymer exterior siding, roof coverings and accessories, has entered into a non-binding agreement to be purchased by American private investment firm Clearview Capital LLC for $45 million.

According to a statement by Novik, they signed a non-binding letter of intent with Connecticut-based Clearview.

Novik designs, manufactures and distributes polymer exterior siding, roofing coverings and accessories for the residential and commercial construction industry.

“Novik is an excellent company with great employees, highly differentiated products and high potential for future growth”, said James G.
