History

[edit]
Jeld-Wen predecessor company Morgan Manufacturing, Oskosh, Wisconsin. The Morgan Manufacturing plant was shut down in 2009.

JELD-WEN was founded in 1960 by Richard "Dick" Wendt when he, together with four business partners, bought a millwork plant in Klamath Falls, Oregon.[4] The company first established operations to support their millwork business and later added other materials to its offering including fiber, vinyl, aluminum and steel.[5]

During the 1970s and 1980s, JELD-WEN grew through vertical integration and acquisition. By 1989, JELD-WEN was ranked seventh among privately held companies in Oregon with revenues of more than $350 million.[6]

Throughout the 1990s, JELD-WEN continued diversification efforts, moving into additional areas of service and expanding to new countries and continents. In 1996, Forbes ranked JELD-WEN at 225 of the nation's top 500 privately owned companies. In 1997, it was ranked 119 and revenues were estimated at $1.39 billion.[7]

By the early 2000s, JELD-WEN was operating throughout the United States, Canada, Mexico, Chile, Europe, Australia, and Asia. JELD-WEN also diversified in to the home center business and began selling through big-box retailers.[8]

JELD-WEN was recapitalized by Onex Corporation in 2011 following the housing market downturn.[9] JELD-WEN went public through an IPO on the New York Stock Exchange on January 27, 2017.[10] The company completed a secondary offering in May 2017.[11]

In 2016, door manufacturer Steves & Sons sued JELD-WEN on antitrust grounds for its 2012 acquisition of rival doorskin manufacturer Craftmaster International (CMI). In 2021 the Fourth Circuit affirmed the trial judge's remedy that JELD-WEN must sell CMI's Towanda factory, which was the first time that a private lawsuit led to an order to divest.[12] In 2023, Towanda sold the plant to a subsidiary of private equity company Platinum Equity Advisers.[13]

Recent Acquisitions

From 2015 to 2017, the company completed nine acquisitions, including DOORIA, Aneeta, Karona, LaCantina, Trend, Breezway,[4] Mattiovi Oy,[3] Milliken Millworks,[14] and Kolder Group.[15]
