Andersen Corporation is a privately-owned business that was founded in 1903 by Danish immigrant Hans Andersen and his family in Hudson, Wisconsin, where logs arrived via the St. Croix River. Andersen first began mass producing back in 1904, nine years before Henry Ford put the automobile on an assembly line. Today the company is headquartered in Bayport, Minnesota, and employs more than 14,000 people in locations across North America. It has 16 manufacturing facilities, and manufactures more than 12 million windows and doors.
Andersen makes windows and patio doors made of wood and clad in vinyl. It also makes products out of Fibrex, a patented structural composite that combines attributes of thermoplastics and bio-fibers. A bio-fiber is a natural fiber coming from a plant, such as wood. Fibrex material is featured in the company's Renewal by Andersen product line.
In addition to Renewal by Andersen, Andersen Corporation also owns Eagle Window and Door, Silver Line, and EMCO.
The company has a history of giving back to the communities where its employees live, work and do business
