ATLANTA — Renewal by Andersen plans to invest more than $420 million in a new facility in Locust Grove, Georgia. Construction of the 638,000-square-foot state-of-the-art facility is expected to be completed in late 2024, with operations expected to begin in 2025.

The new facility will manufacture window and door products using Andersen's Fibrex material which is a high-quality, long-lasting engineered composite that is used in numerous Andersen and Renewal by Andersen product lines. The material contains a blend of wood fiber, mostly reclaimed from Andersen manufacturing processes, and thermoplastic polymer, some of which is also reclaimed.

On Nov. 15, Andersen Corporation, parent of Renewal by Anderson, celebrated this strategic investment in its fast-growing replacement business with a ceremonial groundbreaking. The teams from Andersen and Renewal by Andersen were joined by Locust Grove Mayor Robert Price, Henry County Chair Carlotta Harrell, and other state and local dignitaries to commemorate the occasion.

"We are thrilled to be investing in a facility that will help us meet homeowner demand for our Renewal by Andersen products and expand our footprint further into the southeast," said Chris Galvin, Andersen Corporation president and chief executive officer. "Here in Locust Grove, Renewal by Andersen is building both a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility and a place where individuals across a wide range of skillsets will be able to build meaningful careers. We are grateful for the support and warm welcome from the State of Georgia, Henry County, and the City of Locust Grove, and we look forward to growing in this community."

Andersen Corporation is one of the largest window and door manufacturers in North America, and along with its subsidiaries, operates more than 20 manufacturing and distribution facilities, with an industry-leading portfolio of window and door products serving customers across the new residential, light commercial, home improvement, and remodeling segments.
