Who is the CEO of Masco Corporation?
Jon Nudi serves as President and Chief Executive Officer of Masco Corporation.

Masco Corporation was founded in 1929 by Alex Manoogian in Detroit, Michigan, as a manufacturer of faucet components and plumbing parts. Manoogian was an Armenian immigrant who had learned machining and metalworking skills before starting the business. The company's early years coincided with the Great Depression, but Masco survived by supplying quality faucet components to plumbing manufacturers.

The company went public in 1961, raising capital that funded an aggressive acquisition strategy over the following decades. Masco acquired Delta Faucet Company in 1979, establishing itself as a major force in the plumbing fixtures market. Delta was already a recognized brand in residential faucets, and the acquisition gave Masco a direct-to-consumer brand with broad retail distribution.

In the 1980s and 1990s, Masco expanded through multiple acquisitions across building products categories. The company acquired Behr Process Corporation in 1985, entering the paint and coatings market. Behr had an exclusive relationship with Home Depot, which provided a powerful retail distribution channel. Masco also acquired Hansgrohe in 2002, gaining a premium European plumbing brand with strong positions in Germany, France, and other European markets.

The company built a significant cabinetry division through acquisitions of KraftMaid, Merillat, and other cabinetry brands. However, this business was lower-margin and more cyclical than Masco's paint and plumbing operations. In November 2019, Masco announced the sale of its cabinetry division to ACProducts Inc. for $1 billion. The transaction closed in February 2020, and the combined entity became Cabinetworks Group. This divestiture simplified Masco's portfolio and allowed management to focus on higher-margin categories.

In recent years, Masco has focused on innovation and e-commerce growth. Delta Faucet Company has achieved notable market share gains in the e-commerce channel, and the company has invested in digital shower systems and smart home connectivity. Behr has expanded its Pro paint market presence through delivery options, loyalty programs, and an expanded sales force. In 2025, Behr launched BEHR PREMIUM PLUS ECOMIX Plant-Based Paint and Primer, the first 100% all-acrylic paint meeting the USDA BioPreferred Program's renewable materials threshold.

Under CEO Jon Nudi, who took leadership in 2024, Masco has undergone organizational restructuring. In late 2025, the company established an Executive Committee with dual corporate and business unit representation. In 2026, Masco integrated Liberty Hardware into Delta Faucet Company, moving it from the Decorative Architectural Products segment to the Plumbing Products segment to leverage shared capabilities and scale.

For FY2025, Masco reported net sales of $7.56 billion, a 3% decrease from FY2024. Plumbing Products net sales increased 3%, while Decorative Architectural Products net sales decreased 14%, partly due to divestitures. The company returned $832 million to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases. For Q2 2026, Masco reported net sales of $1.99 billion, down 3% year over year, but adjusted earnings per share grew 26% to $1.64, partly driven by approximately $95 million in IEEPA tariff refunds. The company raised its full-year 2026 adjusted EPS guidance to $4.40 to $4.60.

Masco publishes an annual sustainability report covering environmental performance, product stewardship, and social responsibility. The company has set goals for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, water usage, and waste across its manufacturing operations. Masco's sustainability strategy focuses on product innovation that helps consumers reduce water and energy use, such as Delta's WaterSense-certified faucets and Hansgrohe's EcoRight technology.

Hansgrohe has received recognition for sustainability, including awards for corporate strategy and production initiatives at the German Sustainability Projects 2025 ceremony. The brand's Raindance Alive Collection won an iF Gold Award for Best of Best Design, combining water efficiency with design innovation.

Behr launched BEHR PREMIUM PLUS ECOMIX Plant-Based Paint and Primer in 2025, the first 100% all-acrylic paint meeting the USDA BioPreferred Program's 20% renewable materials threshold for interior paints and coatings. This product represents Masco's effort to address consumer demand for more sustainable building products.

Masco has faced tariff-related challenges that affected its financial performance. The company has been impacted by tariffs on imported components and products, particularly from China. In 2026, Masco recognized approximately $95 million in IEEPA (International Emergency Economic Powers Act) tariff refunds in Q2, which boosted adjusted operating profit and earnings per share. The company anticipates approximately $85 million in full-year net tariff refund benefits for 2026. The tariff situation highlights Masco's exposure to trade policy changes and supply chain costs.

The company's cabinetry divestiture in 2020 followed years of underperformance in that division. The sale to ACProducts Inc. for $1 billion was criticized by some analysts as a low price relative to the division's revenue, but Masco management argued that the divestiture eliminated a low-margin, cyclical business and allowed focus on higher-return segments.

Masco has not faced major product safety recalls or environmental violations in recent years. The company's manufacturing operations are subject to environmental regulations across multiple jurisdictions, particularly related to paint and coatings formulations, wastewater discharge, and air emissions. Masco has complied with EPA and state-level environmental regulations without significant enforcement actions.

The company's relationship with Home Depot, while a commercial strength, creates channel concentration risk. Behr's exclusive distribution through Home Depot means that any deterioration in that relationship would significantly impact Masco's paint business. This is a structural risk that analysts have flagged, though the relationship has been stable for decades.
