Western Window Systems was recently selected as a "Manufacturing Marvel" by Fox Business Channel in a segment that aired on their cable news network in December. The editorial group wanted to tell a story of a manufacturer that has been able to grow in spite of a down economy. Western's growth at nearly 40% over last year coupled with our improvement in our products and our cutting-edge manufacturing capabilities made us an "obvious choice." Please watch this brief video to learn how Western is redefining the window and door industry and providing our customers a life without boundaries.

Reporting a 40 percent increase in sales this year, Western Window Systems has added 30 people to its workforce in recent months. Growing beyond its traditional Southwest base, the Phoenix-based specialist in "indoor/outdoor living systems" foresees further growth and hiring in 2012 as well.

"We have invested heavily in the past few years to improve our product lines to make our window and door systems a viable option for every part of the country," reports Scott Gates, marketing director. "With our thermal break capabilities, as well as improvements in glass options and building envelope strategies, Western is now a fit and a popular choice in many colder climates. Western is now actively selling products from coast to coast as well as deep into Canada and Mexico."

The manufacturer of multi-panel, bi-fold and sliding door systems continues to gain share in established markets, too. Gates points to numerous initiatives, including a focused effort on remodeling applications and outreach to architects.

With the growth, Western has added employees in outside sales, business development, administration, human resources, information technology and marketing, with the bulk being added in production, Gates says. "These hires have also been coupled with a tremendous investment into the infrastructure of our plant. We installed an entirely new racking system for our extrusions and storeroom, as well as many other new pieces of equipment in our shop. We are investing in our company to keep with our dramatic increase in sales."  Read More
