James Hardie Industries plc is a building-products manufacturer incorporated in Ireland, with its principal executive office in Dublin, best known for the fibre cement siding technology it originated in Australia. It reports four segments — Siding & Trim, Deck, Rail & Accessories, Australia & New Zealand, and Europe — and files an annual report on Form 10-K with the SEC under CIK 0001159152. On 1 July 2025 it completed its acquisition of The AZEK Company Inc., a US outdoor-living products maker, adding the TimberTech, AZEK Exteriors, Versatex, StruXure, ULTRALOX and INTEX brands to its existing Hardie and fermacell lines.

James Hardie, the fibre-cement siding maker, agreed to buy The AZEK Company, a maker of engineered wood-alternative decking, railing, trim and outdoor-living products, in a cash-and-stock deal announced 24 March 2025 (23 March in Chicago) and completed 1 July 2025. AZEK shareholders received USD 26.45 in cash plus 1.0340 James Hardie ordinary shares for each AZEK share; James Hardie's own announcement put the total transaction value at USD 8.75 billion, a figure that includes about USD 386 million of AZEK net debt as of 31 December 2024 and is therefore an enterprise value rather than a straight equity price. AZEK had no controlling parent, so no seller company id applies; the deal folded AZEK's TimberTech decking, AZEK Exteriors trim and moulding, Versatex trim, StruXure pergolas, UltraLox railing hardware and Intex railing brands into James Hardie, turning a fibre-cement specialist into a broader exterior building-products company spanning siding, decking, trim and railing.
The parent company of INTEX is James Hardie, a publicly listed company headquartered in Ireland.
