Market Position/ History |
JELD-WEN was founded in 1960 by Dick Wendt and four business partners after acquiring a millwork plant in Klamath Falls, Oregon. The company name is derived from the Wendt family, with each letter representing a family member. Starting with only 15 employees, JELD-WEN quickly established a reputation for reliable products. Over the years, the company expanded its operations, opening its first window assembly plant in Charlotte, North Carolina, in 1962, and acquiring Cascade Forest Products in 1969. As the company grew, it diversified its product offerings, including the opening of fiber plants for molded doorskins in 1975. JELD-WEN also ventured into new markets, expanding into Canada in 1990 and Europe in 1993, strengthening its position in the global market. The company’s growth continued through strategic acquisitions, including the purchase of Vest-Wood in 2006, which brought DANA and Swedoor brands into the fold, further enhancing JELD-WEN's European presence. In 2015, JELD-WEN moved its global headquarters to Charlotte, North Carolina, and made significant acquisitions such as LaCantina Doors, expanding its U.S. product portfolio. The company went public in 2017 through an IPO on the New York Stock Exchange, marking a significant milestone in its history. JELD-WEN has continued to prioritize sustainability, setting ambitious environmental goals for 2050. Today, with approximately 16,000 employees, the company operates worldwide, offering a diverse range of high-performance windows and doors under several brands, and remains a leader in the building products industry. |
