<p><strong>ENGLEWOOD, Colo., August 17, 2026 &ndash; </strong>
    <avb-link class="avb-link dsg-link" data-href="https://www.kodiakig.com/home">Kodiak Interiors Group</avb-link> (KIG), a national platform of appliance and interior solutions, has acquired 
    <avb-link class="avb-link dsg-link" data-href="https://www.mld.com/" target="_blank">Mountain Land Design</avb-link> 
    (MLD), a family-owned appliance, plumbing and hardware business serving Utah, Wyoming and Idaho. The acquisition expands
    KIG’s presence in the Mountain West, strengthens MLD’s operational resources, and adds strategic support to continue
    serving customers and trade partners across the&nbsp;region.
</p>
<p>
    This acquisition advances KIG’s strategy of strengthening independent appliance and interiors businesses while
    preserving the local brand, leadership and customer relationships that drive their success. As part of the KIG network,
    MLD will collaborate with other operating companies to share best practices and capabilities while maintaining its local
    sensibilities and&nbsp;leadership.
</p>
<p>&ldquo;The MLD leadership team has built a consistently successful business and earned a strong reputation for taking care of
its customers and employees,&rdquo; said Jeff
    Smith, CEO of Kodiak Interiors Group. &ldquo;MLD is a natural fit with our culture, expanding our portfolio with new product offerings while providing access to
    long-term growth markets that complement our existing operations in Colorado and the Pacific&nbsp;Northwest.&rdquo;</p>
<p>
    &ldquo;We've built MLD over 30 years on relationships &mdash; with our customers, our employees and the communities we serve,&rdquo; said Dan Devenport, president of 
    MLD. &ldquo;Kodiak Interiors Group gives us the ability to continue to grow into new markets without losing what makes us who we
    are. We're excited about the opportunity&nbsp;ahead.&rdquo;
</p>
<p>
    With this new partnership, MLD's customers, contractors and manufacturer partners will not see a significant change in
day-to-day operations. MLD will continue to provide high-end customer service, products available at every price point,
and the kind of partnership-driven relationships that the company has prioritized since its founding in 1987. As part of
the KIG platform, MLD will have increased backing to support that commitment, with Kodiak Interiors Group’s operational
resources and strategic expertise to help position MLD for continued&nbsp;growth.
</p>

<p>
    With the addition of MLD, Kodiak Interiors Group now includes six operating companies serving customers across nine&nbsp;states.

 Forefront of Industry Dialogue in Upcoming Industry Event

Kodiak Interiors Group named a 2026 ColoradoBiz Top Companies finalist, capping a milestone first year of growth.

<p><img alt="ColoradoBiz Top Company Awards" height="335" src="https://cdn.avbportal.com/assets/blog/KBP/KIG-ColoradoBiz-TopCompanyAwards.png?w=640" title="ColoradoBiz Top Company Awards" width="502" /></p>
<p>Kodiak Interiors Group (KIG) has been named a finalist to&nbsp;<em>ColoradoBiz Magazine's</em>&nbsp;<a href="https://coloradobiz.com/event/top-company/" title="https://coloradobiz.com/event/top-company/" target="_blank">2026 Top Companies</a>. After celebrating our first anniversary earlier this month, what an honor it is to head into our second year of business with new accolades and recognition of the exceptional work our team has put forth.&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Our roots&nbsp;</strong></h3>
<p>KIG was founded in 2025 as an independent acquisition firm, built with intentional focus to capitalize on growth opportunities in the fragmented home appliance and interiors markets. In our first year, we have built a platform generating more than $500 million in annual revenue across five operating companies, a milestone made even more impressive considering the backdrop of market headwinds and largely flat industry-wide demand.</p>
<p>What sets KIG apart is the business model we&rsquo;ve built to sustain these results and continue to grow. Rather than folding local businesses into a single national brand, we are taking a different approach: preserving the local leadership, customer relationships, and community identity that made each operating company successful, while layering in the operational expertise, financial resources, and national scale needed to achieve success. It's a strategy that enables us to offer the best of both worlds for our operating companies, and their customers with trust and responsiveness at a local level, paired with the purchasing power and infrastructure of a national organization.</p>
<h3><strong>Leading business in Colorado with community at our core</strong></h3>
<p>Headquartered in Englewood, Colorado, KIG is proud of the community connections our team has developed, and we&rsquo;re committed to strengthening those relationships as our company grows. In our first year alone, we completed six volunteer events and donated home appliances to various projects that benefit veterans and families transitioning into permanent housing. We also supported major initiatives like the St. Jude Dream Home program, and contributed financial support, sponsorships, and in-kind donations to organizations across the state,&nbsp; including Food Bank of the Rockies, Ronald McDonald House, Home Aid Colorado, and Home Builders Foundation, among others.</p>
<p>For KIG, this level of community engagement is one measure we use to define success. It&rsquo;s nice to receive recognition from organizations like&nbsp;<em>ColoradoBiz</em>, but that is not why we are motivated to take part in these important community-strengthening initiatives. We do it because it&rsquo;s central to who we are as a company.</p>
<h3><strong>What's Next</strong></h3>
<p>Looking ahead, KIG and our operating partners are on a growth trajectory. We&rsquo;re excited about the future and our plans to continue expanding our collective of locally led appliance and interiors businesses, with continued investment in our people, our partners and customer experience.</p>
<p>Being named a Top Companies finalist is a meaningful milestone in KIG's first year, and one that reflects the strength of our team, our partners, and our Colorado roots.&nbsp;Congratulations&nbsp;to the entire KIG team on this recognition.</p>

Kodiak Interiors Group Named a Finalist for ColoradoBiz Magazine's 2026 Top Companies Awards

<h2><strong>KODIAK INTERIORS GROUP |&nbsp;</strong><strong>2026 NEWS ITEMS</strong></h2>
<p><strong>Week of August 10</strong></p>
<h3><strong>Kodiak Interiors Group Named to Qualified Remodeler&rsquo;s 2026 Top 20</strong></h3>
<p>Just over a year after launching as an independent company, Kodiak Interiors Group (KIG) has been named to&nbsp;<em>Qualified Remodeler&rsquo;s</em>&nbsp;2026 Top 20 at number 17, marking KIG&rsquo;s first appearance on the list.</p>
<p>For nearly five decades, the annual Top 500 has recognized the nation&rsquo;s largest remodeling firms and has become a longstanding benchmark within the residential remodeling industry.</p>
<p>For KIG, the recognition reflects the collective strength and experience of the established local businesses that make up our national platform.</p>
<p>&ldquo;Being named to the Top 20 in our first year is a notable milestone for Kodiak Interiors Group, but it really speaks to the strength of our operating companies and the people behind them,&rdquo; said Jeff Smith, president of Kodiak Interiors Group. &ldquo;Our partners have spent decades building trusted businesses in their local markets. By bringing that expertise together and supporting it with greater resources and scale, we&rsquo;re building something that can create even more opportunity for our companies, employees and customers.&rdquo;</p>
<h3><strong>Supporting the Remodeling Industry</strong></h3>
<p>KIG&rsquo;s operating companies provide appliances and interior products and services to builders, remodelers, designers and homeowners across markets nationwide. Many have spent decades serving their communities and building relationships with the professionals responsible for creating and renovating homes.</p>
<p>KIG strengthens those businesses by providing strategic resources and operational expertise while its operating companies maintain their local identities, leadership and customer relationships. Companies also benefit from the collective knowledge of the larger organization, sharing best practices and benchmarking performance with peers while drawing on expertise in areas including finance, HR, marketing, IT and operations. This model combines the trusted local relationships remodelers rely on with the capabilities and resources of a national organization.</p>
<h3><strong>Building on a Strong First Year</strong></h3>
<p>KIG launched as a standalone company in July 2025 with a dedicated focus on the appliance and interiors market. Since then, it has continued to grow its network of leading appliance and interiors businesses across the country.</p>
<p>As KIG enters its second year, the company remains focused on strengthening its operating companies and creating opportunities for sustainable growth across the appliance, interiors and remodeling industries.</p>

<p>Kodiak Interiors Group was proud to come together as a team to give back to our local community. Our headquarters employees spent the day volunteering at Food Bank of the Rockies, helping support families across Colorado facing food insecurity.</p>
<p>As a company rooted in the appliance and interior industry, our work centers on kitchens, laundry rooms, and the appliances that support daily life, from cooking and food preservation to cleaning and care. Volunteering at the Food Bank of the Rockies was a meaningful extension of that mission, supporting an organization that helps ensure families have access to the food and resources that make homes function.</p>
<p>Our team worked hands on to sort and package food, prepare distributions, and support efficient warehouse operations, mirroring the same attention to detail, organization, and service that defines our approach to appliances, kitchen design, and home solutions every day.</p>
<p>Giving back is an important part of who we are at Kodiak Interiors Group. Whether through our work in appliances, kitchen solutions, and interior services or through hands on community support, we remain committed to strengthening the homes and communities we serve.</p>
<p>We are grateful to the Food Bank of the Rockies for the incredible work they do year round and proud of our team for showing up with time, energy, and heart.</p>
