Wincore Window Company LLC, headquartered in Parkersburg, West Virginia, recently announced that it has been acquired by Fernweh Group LLC and its affiliates. Financial terms were not disclosed.
Wincore, which also has operating facilities in Parkersburg, West Virginia, and Swainsboro, Georgia, is a manufacturer of vinyl windows, impact windows, fiberglass entry doors, and sliding patio doors, primarily for the residential market. The company was formed in 2007 by a cross-functional group of individual industry veterans as well as two privately held investment groups. Over its 17-year operating history, officials for the company say Wincore’s focus has been centered on a “customer first” sales and marketing approach backed by high-quality manufacturing and delivery capabilities.
Brian Standley, president of Wincore, sees this as a great opportunity for his company.
“This transaction provides us an opportunity to honor the efforts of those that founded Wincore 17 years ago. Without their collective expertise and willingness to take a risk, Wincore would not be what it is today,” Standley said. “In addition, it allows us and each of our dedicated employees to continue to provide our customers with great products and service. We are excited to partner with the team at Fernweh to make a great company even better in the coming years.”
For Wincore customers, vendors, and employees, the change in ownership is and will remain seamless as all employees and senior management remain with the company and will be supported by Fernweh’s operational partners to maximize the Wincore brand and product offerings, officials assured. Wincore senior management will also be equity owners alongside Fernweh.
“We are excited to partner with the talented management team at Wincore, whose vision and leadership have driven the company’s success to date. Together, we look forward to building on this strong foundation, expanding the business and unlocking its full potential in the years ahead,” said Nick Santhanam, CEO at Fernweh Group.
Wincore was represented by Goodwin Procter LLP while Fernweh was represented by DLA.
