On Saturday, March 5, 2022, our vinyl production facility in Norwalk, Iowa was significantly damaged by a tornado. A large portion of the roof was blown off and the interior was exposed to the elements. The building sustained significant damage that suspended production of our vinyl windows and patio doors.
After several weeks of hard work by our dedicated staff, the building repairs are nearly complete, and we were able to begin limited production in mid-May. As we once again begin production, our primary focus is to produce and deliver the orders that were disrupted by the storm damage. Once that has been accomplished, we will gradually ramp up production and return to our previous capacity. Your Regional Sales Manager will inform you when we are able to accept new vinyl orders.
We are thankful that none of our employees were injured when the tornado came through the community of Norwalk on that day. On May 16, a reopening celebration was held to express our appreciation to the employees affected by this disaster. Windsor is grateful for all the hard work and sacrifice of our employees, our suppliers and the community of Norwalk who have worked diligently to repair this facility.
