Company History
PGT Industries, founded in 1980, is a leading manufacturer of custom windows, doors and patio rooms.
In the early 1980s, PGT focused its operations on aluminum vinyl-glazed windows, which were used as porch enclosure systems. By 1987, PGT was manufacturing its first line of glass windows marketed under the name PGT (Progressive Glass Technology). And, by 1988, the company had added tool and die making and injection molding to its manufacturing capabilities, allowing it to keep pace with the company’s tremendous growth while ensuring its high standards of product quality and service.
The desire of northern customers to experience the outdoors year-round led to the development of PGT’s NatureScape® Patio Room in 1991. An all season option including vinyl-framed windows and doors was added to this product line in 1995.
After the devastation of Hurricane Andrew in 1992, the company aggressively began research and development for a window and door product line that would meet Miami-Dade County code requirements - some of the strictest building codes in the nation. PGT’s efforts to provide consumers with safety and security resulted in the 1996 premiere of the WinGuard® Impact-Resistant Windows and Doors product line.
In January, 2003, PGT acquired Binnings Building Products, Inc., of Lexington, North Carolina. Their 225,000 square foot facility became PGT North Carolina Operations.
The Binnings acquisition was a vital step in PGT's strategic plan of continued growth. They are a complementary fit with the PGT business and culture, sharing the same long-term vision and commitment to superior products and outstanding customer service.
PGT Industries currently has over 2,400 employees at its two facilities, which include the 425,000 square foot corporate headquarters, manufacturing and delivery fleet facility in Venice, Florida, and the 225,000 square foot facility in Lexington, North Carolina. PGT sells through a network of independent dealers and distributors. The company's total line of custom windows and doors are now sold throughout the eastern U.S. and a growing international market, which includes the Caribbean, South America and Australia.
