We are so accustomed to seeing “Made in China, Mexico, India”, etc. on products we buy that the meaning
of that is somewhat lost. America Proud was born out of the simplified concept that if we are more aware of products made in America, we may purchase more of these products, thus stimulating American jobs and the economy. In each issue we will spotlight a company whose products are made
in the USA. We
encourage you to visit their web
site to learn more
about them.
Milgard is one of the largest and most trusted names in windows and doors. For over 50 years, they have demonstrated their commitment to improving window technology. They offer a comprehensive selection of award-winning windows and doors.
While many window companies are simply distributors of someone else's products, Milgard is a vertically integrated window and patio door manufacturer. They make their own insulated glass units, produce their own vinyl components, and make their own fiberglass frames. All vinyl windows and doors are made to order.
Through vertical integration, Milgard is able to control quality every step of the way. The result is higher quality products, all of which are confidently backed with one of the industry's best guarantees, Milgard's Full Lifetime Warranty that includes parts and labor.
In 2001, Milgard was purchased by Masco Corporation, one of the world's largest manufacturers of brand-name consumer products for the home and family. Masco owns many admired companies within the building community, such as Delta Faucet Company, Merillat Cabinetry, Hot Spring Hot Tubs and KraftMaid Cabinetry. Masco is a leading provider of services that include the sale and installation of insulation and other building products.
Milgard sources components from different parts of the world, but their windows are all assembled in America. They’ve found that working close to their consumers has many advantages. Customers’ orders can arrive in days instead of weeks, and factory-trained technicians can provide faster service. Consumers also have the reassurance that they will get Milgard windows specifically designed for their unique climate. In addition, Milgard is committed to helping local economies grow. Milgard is one of the largest employers in many communities throughout the Western United States.
