Andersen Corporation's Renewal by Andersen to Open First Southeast Manufacturing Facility
Georgia Governor Brian P. Kemp announced that Renewal by Andersen, the full-service window replacement division of Andersen Corporation, will create 900 new jobs and invest more than $420 million in a new manufacturing facility in Henry County, Georgia.
About the new facility
The new Renewal by Andersen facility will be located at The Cubes at Locust Grove. It will be the company’s first manufacturing facility in Georgia, joining an Andersen Logistics distribution center located in Douglasville and an Andersen Windows and Doors office in Marietta. The facility will initially support Renewal by Andersen, the company’s start-to-finish window and door replacement division, with capacity to expand in future years to support additional Andersen-enterprise product lines. Construction on the facility will begin in 2023, with operations expected to begin in 2025.
What people are saying
"We're proud Renewal by Andersen is growing its footprint in Georgia and choosing to bring its first Southeast manufacturing facility to our state," says Governor Kemp. "Thanks to our robust infrastructure network, companies are able to reach 80 percent of the U.S. market within a two-day drive or two-hour flight from the Peach State. This manufacturing facility will be just the latest to benefit from this unique advantage of our number one state for business. We're also looking forward to the opportunities this project will bring to hardworking Georgians in Locust Grove and the surrounding area."
"We are thrilled to be joining the Locust Grove community, expanding our operations, accelerating our growth, and adding to our team in Georgia," says Chris Galvin, Andersen Corporation president and CEO. "With a strong labor force, favorable business environment, and accessible transportation; the State of Georgia, Henry County, and the City of Locust Grove in particular, is a great place to do business. We are confident in our choice to make this significant investment in the State of Georgia."
"Locust Grove is excited to welcome Renewal by Andersen's new advanced manufacturing facility to our rapidly growing industrial and logistics corridor," says Locust Grove Mayor Robert Price. "This facility will bring a significant amount of advanced manufacturing positions and represents the largest economic development project in our city and county's history. We are grateful to Renewal by Andersen for choosing Locust Grove, and our city is committed to partner with them to grow and prosper well into the future."
"While this is Renewal by Andersen's first manufacturing facility in Georgia, Andersen's products have been in the state for years, including in the stores of our largest Georgia-based home improvement company," says GDEcD Commissioner Pat Wilson. "From flooring to appliances to windows, Georgia businesses play a significant role in helping families personalize their homes. We're excited for Renewal by Andersen to join our manufacturing community, and congratulations to Locust Grove and Henry County."
