Why JELD-WEN

We Inspire Confidence

JELD-WEN is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of reliable windows and doors. Our extensive product line is sold globally through multiple distribution channels, including wholesale distributors, building products dealers, and retail home centers, such as Menards.

Consistently ranked as Oregon’s largest privately owned company, JELD-WEN began in 1960 with 15 employees and today has approximately 20,000 employees across more than 100 locations in the Americas, Europe, Asia, and Australia. These strategically located facilities accommodate regional preferences and standards, and help minimize the environmental resources required for transportation.

We Are Committed To Quality & The Environment

Our exclusive manufacturing process called AuraLast® is our secret to longer-lasting wood windows and doors. The AuraLast process protects against wood rot, water saturation, and termites. Unlike dip-treated wood, common in the industry, JELD-WEN’s vacuum pressure process forces the protective ingredients all the way through to the core of the wood for virtually 100% penetration.

We also use a closed-loop, water-based system that reduces volatile organic chemicals (VOCs) by 96% compared to the ordinary method of dip-treating wood in open vats of petroleum-based fluids.

The AuraLast process creates long-lasting, beautiful windows with a smaller impact on the environment. AuraLast wood is only available at JELD-WEN.

Giving Back

In 1969, the company founded the JELD-WEN Foundation, a non-profit organization whose mission is to enhance the communities where JELD-WEN employees live. In the U.S., the JELD-WEN Foundation contributes to the United Way, which provides college scholarships and grants for worthwhile community projects.
