History

Jeld-Wen predecessor company Morgan Manufacturing, Oskosh, Wisconsin. The Morgan Manufacturing plant was shut down in 2009.[3]

JELD-WEN was founded in 1960 by Richard "Dick" Wendt when he, together with four business partners, bought a millwork plant in Klamath Falls, Oregon.[4] The company first established operations to support their millwork business and later added other materials to its offering including fiber, vinyl, aluminum and steel.[5]

During the 1970s and 1980s, JELD-WEN grew through vertical integration and acquisition. By 1989, JELD-WEN was ranked seventh among privately held companies in Oregon with revenues of more than $350 million.[6]

In 1996, Forbes ranked JELD-WEN at 225 of the nation's top 500 privately owned companies. In 1997, it was ranked 119 and revenues were estimated at $1.39 billion.[7]

gollark: ++remind 9d23h maybe just something where a `++` command in a reminder is executed as the right user? Somehow? Would need to build the context or whatever, probably.
