As Walt Disney once said, “We always keep moving forward, opening new doors and doing new things…” When you are in the window and door business, this is a daily way of life. So it is with Texas-based Elevate Windows & Doors as they expand and fine-tune their business in the fourth quarter of 2022 and into 2023.
“These past few years have been years of change and growth for Elevate,” James Gresham, co-owner of Elevate Windows & Doors said. “After successfully negotiating COVID-19, 2021-22 was a time of process improvement and growth that allowed us to meet some critical milestones.”
Elevate Windows & Doors manufacture their windows to exacting specifications and their standards meet or exceed those of EnergyStar requirements. They recently expanded their Texas operations from over 135,000 square feet by adding another 40,000 square feet of space. In addition, they are expanding their staff by adding 75 to 100 additional jobs. Consequently, capacity of the Texas facility will increase by 1,000 units per day.
“We are committed to our customers and the new housing markets we compete in,” Mr. Gresham continued. “Our objective is to be the premier window and door manufacturer in the markets we serve. We feel these capital expenditures and process improvements emphasize that commitment.”
Manufacturing since January 2019, their team has decades of industry experience. The company recently announced expansion into the Kentucky and Tennessee markets. Their Hopkinsville, Kentucky, manufacturing facility will comprise 100,000 square feet and is targeting an initial production rate of 2,000 units per day. The facility will eventually employ over 200.
“Our expansion is one way for us to reemphasize our commitment to our excellent distribution partners,” Jim Robinson co-owner of Elevate said. “We see the Kentucky-Tennessee corridor as having a similar growth trajectory as our Texas operations. These new plants are our first steps into geographic expansion and where we expect our company to grow.”
With the purchase of the Kentucky facilities complete by the end of first quarter 2023, the first units should roll off of that assembly line by mid second quarter 2023.
