Andersen has big plans in Arizona
Just weeks removed from the sale of its Silver Line and American Craftsman brands of windows to Ply Gem, Andersen Corporation announced that it has big plans for Arizona.
The window and door manufacturer plans to build a new manufacturing and distribution campus and is currently working with state and the City of Goodyear, Ariz. Regarding a proposed location.
Andersen said it plans to invest more than $105 million in the campus while creating over 415 jobs. The privately-held company said the expansion is part of the company’s strategy to invest in its Fibrex material-based products in order to meet current future demand.
The proposed campus will initially include approximately 500,000 square feet of manufacturing and distribution space for Andersen’s fast-growing 100 Series product line. The first phase of construction is expected to begin in early 2019, with anticipated operation by the middle of 2020. The campus will be owned and operated by Andersen Regional Manufacturing, Inc, a subsidiary of Andersen Corporation.
“This new manufacturing campus is an exciting opportunity for us to increase manufacturing and distribution capacity for our fast-growing Fibrex products and expand our presence in the western United States where we are experiencing significant growth,” said Andersen Corporation Chairman and CEO Jay Lund. “We are grateful for the support of Arizona Governor Doug Ducey, the City of Goodyear, Maricopa County and Greater Phoenix Economic Council and we look forward to working closely with these partners and tapping into a robust local workforce to build a world-class manufacturing operation in the region.”
“We’re thrilled that Andersen has chosen Arizona for this significant expansion which will create over 400 new jobs,” said Arizona Governor Doug Ducey. “We wish them even greater success in Arizona.”
Fibrex material is a high-quality, long-lasting engineered composite that has garnered more than 25 United States patents. The material is used in numerous Andersen and Renewal by Andersen product lines. Products manufactured in the Goodyear plant will use a formulation of Fibrex material that contains a blend of wood fiber, mostly reclaimed from Andersen manufacturing processes, and thermoplastic polymer, some of which is also reclaimed.
The company said it anticipates potential total investment of at least $200 million through additional future expansion of the campus.
Based in Bayport, Minn., Andersen Corporation’s brands include Andersen, Renewal by Andersen, EMCO, Weiland, MQ, and Heritage.
Last month Andersen Corporation announced the divestiture of its Silver Line window and patio door division including its Silver Line and American Craftsman brands. The transaction is expected to close early in the fourth quarter of 2018.
