RPM International Inc. announced the acquisition of Ready Seal Inc., a Texas-based manufacturer of premium exterior wood stains. The company will join the Rust-Oleum business within RPM’s Consumer Group.

Ready Seal’s products include a stain-and-sealer-in-one marketed as “Goof-Proof™” for its ease of use in various temperatures and conditions. The product does not require back brushing and does not leave lap marks. Ready Seal reported approximately $45 million in sales in calendar year 2024. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

The acquisition enhances Rust-Oleum’s position in the growing exterior wood care category, which continues to gain popularity among both professional contractors and DIY users. RPM plans to leverage Rust-Oleum’s distribution network and sales force to expand the reach of Ready Seal’s offerings.

“We welcome Ready Seal’s employees and easy to use ‘Goof-Proof’ products to RPM,” said Frank C. Sullivan, CEO of RPM. “This acquisition strengthens our offerings in the attractive exterior wood care category and Rust-Oleum is well-positioned to leverage its competitive strengths to accelerate Ready Seal’s growth.”
