Eldon, MO – Quaker Windows and Doors has announced the opening of a new manufacturing plant at their recently established Eldon, Missouri campus. The 200,000 square foot state-of-the-art facility began operations on May 18, 2020 and will be dedicated to expanding Quaker’s commercial aluminum window and door production capacity.
“This plant opening is just the beginning of our strategic growth plan for the Eldon campus, explains Kevin Blansett, Quaker CEO. “We are extremely excited that this new facility truly is the next generational blending of cutting–edge technology, innovative products and state-of-the-art manufacturing automation.”
This is the first building on Quaker’s nearly 150-acre campus in Eldon, MO, which will produce a variety of architectural aluminum window products for the Architectural and Commercial construction markets, including the M600 and new C600 window system that features Quaker’s patented OptiCore™ Technology.
