Marvin, a premium manufacturer of windows and doors, opened its newest distribution center in Windsor, Ct. This expansion will enhance the efficiency of Marvin’s distribution network and create additional jobs in the region while providing four-times the operating footprint of Marvin’s previous area facility.
Marvin has an expansive dealer network and customer base in the Northeast and the new 185,000-sq ft. Windsor Distribution Center will serve as a central hub where Marvin’s products will be consolidated, shipped and delivered to customers along the East Coast.
“Our latest distribution center in Windsor is further demonstration of our commitment to providing exceptional service to our dealers and customers,” said president Darrin Peterson. “We also look forward to providing great career opportunities to the Windsor-area community.”
Marvin partnered with Maugel Destefano Architects and Polar Design Build on the custom build-out, which includes thoughtful details such as electric vehicle chargers, LED lighting paired with natural light throughout all parts of the facility and electric forklifts for reduced indoor air pollution and fuel costs.
“As Marvin continues to grow, centralized operations at our distribution centers help us reduce transit times, enhance delivery accuracy and improve our overall efficiency,” said director of logistics Chris Hoerth. “We’re also proud that all 25 of our area employees have transitioned to our new facility and we look forward to welcoming an additional 65 new team members to Marvin in the months ahead.”
Marvin is ranked No. 19 on Forbes magazine’s America’s Best Large Employers, an exclusive list of the nation’s top places to work.
