Anderson Moulding Doors & Windows is excited to have a weekly spotlight to showcase some of our favorite vendors! This week the spotlight is on Milgard, which is a popular choice among many of our customers. I was lucky enough to sit down this week with Jacob Whitman, Milgard Sales Representative and he showed so much passion for the product his company has. We have Milgard displayed in both of our showrooms, so if you want to come see it for yourself come in today!
Q: Thanks for taking the time to sit down with us today so we can learn more about Milgard! Can you tell me a little bit about your company and its foundation?
A: We have one unwavering goal, and that’s to be the best window and door manufacturer. We will settle for nothing less.
To achieve that goal, we are committed to three guiding principles:
1.) The individual must be respected.
2.) The customer must be given the best possible service.
3.) Excellence and superior performance must be pursued.
Employees are the key to our success. Milgard’s history of growth and success as a window and door manufacturer is due to the dedication of our employees. To be the best, we hire the best. More than 3,000 Milgard employees work hard every day to give our customers high-quality products and superior service. They’re a big part of the answer to the question: Why Milgard? They see their jobs as we do—as careers.
Milgard has 50 years of innovation in window and door manufacturing. In 1958, Maurice Milgard, Jr. and his son Gary started Milgard Glass Company in a small building in Tacoma,Washington. Gary’s brother, Jim, joined the company in 1961. Within a short time, the Milgards diversified into aluminum windows.
In 1962, Gary Milgard left the glass company to start an aluminum window fabricating company called Milgard Manufacturing. The company’s objective was to provide a reliable source of quality aluminum windows styled and crafted to meet the unique architectural requirements of the western United States.
In 1968, Milgard Manufacturing started producing sliding glass doors. Two years later, aluminum frames were redesigned to fit both single-pane and insulating glass. Milgard developed a type of aluminum fram that was suitable for cold weather areas where only wood frames had been effective.
The year 1989 marked the introduction of the first Milgard windows with vinyl frames. WoodClad windows and doors, a dramatic new line of fiberglass windows and doors, was introduced in 1990.
Growth continues to be the norm at Milgard. In addition to the Tacoma operation, the company now has manufacturing, sales and service locations in Portland, Oregon; Sacramento, Hollister, Simi Valley, Temecula and Dixon, California; Denver, Colorado; Salt Lake City, Utah; Phoenix, Arizona, and Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas.
