About Worthington Enterprises, Inc.
About Worthington Enterprises, Inc.
Building Products generated approximately 62% of Worthington Enterprises' consolidated net sales in fiscal 2026, up from 57% in fiscal 2025 and 50% in fiscal 2024, with Consumer Products making up the balance. The Columbus, Ohio-based manufacturer, founded in 1955 and separated from its steel processing business on December 1, 2023, runs 12 Building Products facilities outside its joint ventures, and international operations accounted for approximately 12% of net sales, primarily in Europe.
Building Products supplies pressurized containment solutions such as refrigerant and LPG cylinders and well water tanks, HVAC systems, and metal roofing clips. The segment has grown through acquisitions, including Elgen in June 2025 for $90.7 million and LSI, a maker of standing-seam metal roof clips, in January 2026 for $206.6 million. Two unconsolidated joint ventures sit alongside it: WAVE, a 50%-owned venture with Armstrong World Industries and the largest of four North American ceiling suspension manufacturers, and ClarkDietrich, a 25%-owned light gauge steel framing producer with 15 plants. In October 2025 the company divested its 49% interest in the SES composite business in exchange for shares of Hexagon Composites and Hexagon Purus. Consumer Products sells propane cylinders, torches, balloon kits, hand tools and grills under brands including Bernzomatic, Coleman (licensed) and Halo, primarily to mass merchandisers, retailers and distributors. Competition in Building Products is based on price, service and quality.

Customer and end-market exposure shape results. Sales to one retail customer accounted for 10% of consolidated net sales in fiscal 2026, so a change in that account could weigh on the Consumer segment. In construction, the 10-K says revenue from new non-residential construction can lag starts by as much as 24 months, and that demand tracks housing starts, interest rates, repair and remodel activity and consumer confidence. Rising rates or weaker housing data could therefore affect Building Products with a delay, even as acquisitions raise its share of consolidated sales.
