Commercial manufacturing group Carlisle Companies is nothing if not diverse. Through dozens of subsidiaries, the company makes an array of products including roofing materials, specialty wheels and tires, foodservice equipment, and wire and cable assemblies for aerospace and industrial clients. Representing about half of the group's sales, the construction materials segment makes rubber roofing systems as well as rigid foam insulation, waterproofing, and protective coatings. Its next-largest segment, transportation products, makes tires, wheels, and power transmission belts. Carlisle has manufacturing and distribution facilities (and sells its products) worlwide, but the US accounts for around 90% of sales.
