VENICE, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
PGT Innovations, Inc. announced today expansion plans for a new 330,000 sq. ft. manufacturing facility in Miami, Florida. The new facility will enhance the Company’s manufacturing capabilities to meet future expected growth of the impact-resistant window and door market.
The Company currently has 182,000 sq. ft. of offices and manufacturing space in Miami. The CGI brand will move its offices and manufacturing facility into the new space which is located approximately 12 miles from their current location. The new facility is designed to produce the Company’s CGI branded products, along with various other commercial and PGT aluminum products.
“This new facility demonstrates our commitment to make our products in America and to serve our core market of Florida which continues to be a positive environment for the growth of our Company,” commented Jeff Jackson, President, PGT Innovations. “This move also increases our manufacturing capabilities and enhances operational efficiencies by combining parts of our production, distribution and marketing efforts across all of our brands. We believe this further enables our ability to grow and evolve to better meet our customer’s needs, allowing us to provide exceptional value along the way.”
The new building space will accommodate a multi-brand showroom, offices, production, and distribution. The new space is slated to be complete near the end of 2017 and is expected to be operational by January 2018.
Jackson continues, “We were fortunate to find such a great space so close to our current Miami facility. We really wanted to limit the impact that relocation could have on our customers and our employees. I don’t think we could have found a better location for our team and look forward to becoming an integral part of this community.”
