Janus International Group Acquires Kiwi II Construction

Janus International Group International, a leading provider of building product solutions and cutting-edge access control technologies for the self-storage and other commercial and industrial sectors, announced its asset acquisition of Kiwi II Construction, a premier self-storage and pre-engineered buildings provider. The acquisition will allow Janus to offer a more comprehensive suite of products and services to self-storage owner-operators and enhance its services for general contractors, representing another step forward in Janus’s ongoing commitment to provide a comprehensive suite of self-storage building solutions throughout North America. 

Headquartered in Temecula, Calif., and founded in 1982, Kiwi II designs, value-engineers, bids, supplies building materials and installs steel buildings for the self-storage industry, including single-story, multi-story, boat/RV storage, climate-controlled and custom buildings. Kiwi II’s net sales are expected to be approximately $90 million in fiscal 2025. Following the acquisition, the existing chief executive and chief operating officers of Kiwi II will remain with the business. 

“We are very pleased to welcome Kiwi II to the Janus family, which we believe will expand and strengthen Janus’s building solutions capabilities,” said Janus’s Chief Executive Officer Ramey Jackson. “Kiwi II is well-known for its premium customer service and closely aligns with our core business at Janus. With Kiwi II Chief Executive Officer Wayne Woolsey, we’ve added one of the most well-respected and experienced leaders in the industry to our team. We believe that the acquisition of Kiwi II will enhance our ability to continue to serve and support our customers with high quality products and solutions to help them develop and redevelop more efficiently.” 

“We’re very excited to join the Janus team. The quality of their products, scope of their offering and their expertise in the self-storage industry are second to none. We believe that this will allow us to continue to grow our building services throughout North America,” said Woolsey. 

Janus entered the self-storage building space in 2019 with the acquisition of BETCO, Inc., a leading innovator in engineering, design, manufacturing and construction of self-storage buildings. At present, both Kiwi II and BETCO Inc. will continue to operate under their own brand names. 

Massumi + Consoli LLP served as legal advisor to Janus. 

Janus International Group, Inc. is a leading global manufacturer and supplier of turnkey self-storage, commercial and industrial building solutions, including self storage buildings, roll-up and swing doors, commercial and rolling steel doors, hallway systems, relocatable storage units and smart security and locking technologies.

Kiwi II Construction serves both the self-storage and pre-engineered building industries with multi-story and single-story self-storage buildings, RV buildings, flex buildings and pre-engineered buildings constructed entirely from metal or steel components.
