I had first met David in 2007.
David is Ralph's son, who is now our partner in Hunter Douglas.
He rolled his shares into the transaction a few years ago.
They invested...
alongside us in Burger King.
We built a good relationship, lots of mutual respect.
David came down, Alex, Alex, I guess, and I organized to have some of our partners come visit us in Burger King in 2011 or 2012.
And we gave a presentation on what we were doing and remember spending time with David.
And he said, this reminds me in some respects of Hunter Douglas, this kind of entrepreneurial startup type culture in a traditional business.
And we kept tabs on their business through the years as well.
And we watched David do some transformational acquisitions along the way to evolve that Hunter Douglas business to become even more direct to consumer.
So to go to both selling through dealer and direct to consumer.
We were big admirers of that business for many, many years.
And we had the history of following the business for many, many, many years prior to Alex and Ralph chatting about succession and next steps for the business.
So we played the
real long game.
David evolved Hunter Douglas into a business that we had an even greater appreciation for 15 years after meeting him.
The TAM for the interior and exterior window coverings is around $70 billion.
HD is far and away the largest player.
We have this combination of scaled manufacturing coupled with scale distribution.
