Cascade Windows, a vinyl door and window manufacturer based in Spokane, Wash., announces the addition of Randy Buchanan as its new vice president of operations.

Buchanan comes to Cascade Windows with more than 31 years of experience in the glass industry. He spent 30 years at Milgard Manufacturing where he most recently held the role of director of Northwest operations. Here he oversaw all operational activities for Milgard’s fiberglass and vinyl manufacturing facilities including directing sales efforts in Canada. He was awarded Milgard’s “Plant Manager of the Year” three years in a row and was handpicked by Gary Milgard to start up a new manufacturing facility in Virginia. Prior to accepting the position at Cascade Windows, Buchanan spent a year as the general manager at Tacoma Glass Manufacturing Inc.

“We are thrilled to be adding such a talented and experienced professional to our team,” says Randy Emerson, CEO of Cascade Windows. “His knowledge and background will be vital to the growth that Cascade Windows is expecting over the next few years.”

Buchanan started July 29 and will be based out of the Spokane office.
