Accu-Weld Announces New Corporate Name: Haddon Windows & Doors
Jul 26th, 2010 | By DWM Mag | Category: Industry NewsHaddon Windows LLC, operating as Accu-Weld, has announced its new corporate name: Haddon Windows & Doors.
The name change is part of a strategic integration and revamp of the 29-year-old Accu-Weld Company and Speyer Door & Window, the assets of which were acquired by the Haddon family in 2009. Haddon’s new name represents the company’s vision for the future, creating innovative products, new processes to enhance quality and commitment to excellent service, according to the company.
“With [more than] 150 years in the industry, my brothers, my father and I, as a family, are committed to building a lasting company supplying innovative products to our customers based on enduring relationships,” says John Haddon Jr., president of Haddon Windows LLC. “This step reflects the hard work of integration of assets and building a lasting company platform. Our product line and company is well positioned to support the weatherization and energy efficiency upgrading of American homes.”
Haddon Windows & Doors is a vertically integrated manufacturing company based in Bucks County, Pa. Haddon supplies energy-efficient windows, patio doors and entry doors to its dealer channel.
“In this very challenging market, we believe that innovation, service and quality are paramount to increasing market share. Since acquiring the assets of the two companies, we’ve made many enhancements in our manufacturing processes, product design and product pipeline and have over 20 patents filed and issued,” adds Sam Jadallah, chairman of the board.
That’s nice that they have acquired Accu-Weld. Now can you tell me why they didn’t acquire the warranties on all the windows that were sold and installed. Now the costumers have to suffer with poor products. We had our windows installed and then about a year or so later the inside of our bow window cracked. Accu-weld came out and replaced the cracked pane of glass. Good faith on their part. However, the person who replaced it must not have sealed it properly because now we are stuck with a window that water must have gotten in, due to a problem with the window not being sealed properly. We called and found out that Accu-weld had been sold and the new company is not honoring our warranty. They want us to pay for service on a window that was not properly installed and fixed in the first place.
Well that is a nice touch, but since Accu-Weld was a subsiduary of their for years they have effectively wiped thier books clean in regards to the warranties. I too now have issues which will not be covered. I will definitely not support Haddon and do everything in my power to ensure everyone is aware not to do business with Haddon.
