HARRISBURG, Pa. — Miter Brands, a leader in residential window and door manufacturing, announced a strategic realignment to its Florida operations, including closing two manufacturing facilities and relocating production to other Miter Brands facilities in Florida.

The company, which announced similar plans to consolidate its California operations, said it will relocate production lines from its Medley and Hialeah, Florida, facilities and close those facilities in Q4 2025 and Q1 2026, respectively. The company plans to open an advanced glass manufacturing plant in Pembroke Pines, Florida.

The company said these efforts align with the company’s focus on efficiency, innovation, and long-term growth.

Portfolio optimization
As part of this strategic transition, Miter Brands will relocate production of its high-demand product lines to its other Florida facilities. PGT Commercial window and door products, CGI impact and resistant window products, and select WINDOOR products are made at the Medley and Hialeah facilities. The company also plans to sunset two product lines: CGI Sentinel and WINDOOR Estate product lines.

Investments made in the other Florida locations include advanced laminated glass production equipment, hybrid and redundant production lines, and enhanced packaging, transportation, and logistics processes. “These enable us to deliver next-generation products with faster production cycles and improved reliability,” the company said. This decision reflects the company’s ongoing efforts to streamline its offerings and focus on delivering market-preferred solutions that align with evolving customer needs and industry trends.

“By retiring certain product lines, our team is able to concentrate our resources on the products and technologies that offer the greatest value to our partners,” said Brian Covey, VP of Sales for Miter Brands. “With this focus, we’ve made substantial investments in nearby facilities to ensure we maintain the highest quality standards, while continuing to deliver the exceptional value our customers expect.”

Team member transition
With the closure of the Medley and Hialeah facilities, Miter Brands will aim to retain as many team members as possible through open positions at its other facilities. The company’s Talent Acquisition team will conduct resume and interview workshops, along with an internal job fair for available roles. Comprehensive relocation support will be provided for those moving outside of commuting distance. Additionally, external job fairs will be organized for team members seeking opportunities outside the company.

“Our teams in Hialeah and Medley have been instrumental in delivering the finest products, services, and customer experiences to our customers,” said Anthony Kassab, VP of Human Resources for Miter Brands. “Our priority is supporting them during this change and doing all we can to ensure they are well-equipped for continued success.”

South Florida’s manufacturing future
Miter Brands’ new glass plant in Pembroke Pines is expected to open in 2026, and will feature advanced glass manufacturing processes that will enable Miter Brands to build the next generation of residential window and door products. This investment underscores the company’s commitment to innovation and supporting the South Florida region with high-paying jobs, manufacturing high-quality products designed for coastal performance.

“With our long-standing presence and collaboration on building code development in Florida through our PGT brand, we have a deep understanding of the region's design trends, code requirements, and ideal products for single-family and multi-family applications,” said Dean Ruark, SVP of Engineering and Product Development for Miter Brands. “This new plant will enhance our ability to provide high-quality, impact-resistant solutions tailored to local needs.”
