WARROAD, Minn. — Marvin Windows and Doors opened its newest distribution center in Windsor, Connecticut.
The facility’s 185,000-square-foot operating footprint is four times the company’s previous facility that serviced the Northeast. The new Windsor distribution center will serve as a central hub where Marvin’s products will be consolidated, shipped and delivered to dealers and customers along the East Coast.
Marvin opened a 110,000-square-foot distribution center in Reno, Nevada, last June.
“Our latest distribution center in Windsor is further demonstration of our commitment to providing exceptional service to our dealers and customers,” said Darrin Peterson, president of Marvin. “We also look forward to providing great career opportunities to the Windsor-area community.”
Marvin partnered with Maugel Destefano Architects and Polar Design Build on the custom build-out. The facility features electric vehicle chargers, LED lighting paired with natural light throughout all parts of the facility, and electric forklifts for reduced indoor air pollution and fuel costs.
“As Marvin continues to grow, centralized operations at our distribution centers help us reduce transit times, enhance delivery accuracy and improve our overall efficiency,” said Chris Hoerth, director of logistics for Marvin. “We’re also proud that all 25 of our area employees have transitioned to our new facility and we look forward to welcoming an additional 65 new team members to Marvin in the months ahead.”
Marvin is ranked No. 19 on Forbes magazine’s America’s Best Large Employers, an exclusive list of the nation’s top places to work. The company ranks No. 15 in the FDMC 300.
