Atrium Announces Consolidation of Arizona and California Facilities

Atrium Cos. Inc. announced on Friday that it will consolidate its Tolleson, Ariz., and Anaheim, Calif., manufacturing facilities, effective on or before September 1. The Dallas-based company plans to create a dedicated vinyl window facility at the California site, which will serve the company’s vinyl door and window customers throughout the southwestern U.S., including Arizona, southern Nevada and California, for all new construction, as well as for remodeling and replacement vinyl products.

“We believe this consolidation will result in a full and exceptional vinyl offering that will help us grow our market share and allow us to be the best supplier of products in that category in the region,” says Peter Venerdi Jr., president of Atrium’s Western Region.

The Arizona facility, which manufactured both vinyl and aluminum doors and windows, will close. The vinyl portion of the business will move to the California facility.

“As building codes change and the construction industry fluctuates, vinyl has moved ahead of aluminum in sales,” said Bob Burns, Atrium’s chief operating officer. “This adjustment to our manufacturing strategy lessens the prominence of aluminum in our southwestern markets’ product line-up, while positioning Atrium to meet short- and long-term sales plans moving forward. Our current vinyl window and door customers in this market should experience no supply interruption at all.”
