The Iowa-based window and door manufacturer expands its footprint in South Florida

PELLA, Iowa, May 4, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Pella Corporation has announced plans to further expand its capabilities in Florida with the upcoming acquisition of aluminum window and door manufacturer, Lawson Industries Inc.

Located near Miami, Florida, Lawson specializes in impact-resistant aluminum windows and doors as well as installation for the growing South Florida region.

Having served the market for more than 60 years, Lawson Industries is comprised of approximately 300 team members with a deep understanding of the unique needs of Florida customers.

"Lawson's skilled workforce and capacity for continued growth is an ideal match for Pella. Their values and culture demonstrate sincere caring and a commitment to excellence. We're confident that they will be an incredible addition to the Pella Family of Brands," said Polly Tousey, Vice President of Subsidiaries for Pella Corporation.

"Pella is a national brand that is nearly 100 years old and privately owned by the original family who started the company back in 1925. Pella prides itself on being a leading window and door manufacturer that is invested in long-term growth and cares deeply for its team members, customers, and communities.
