DWM is wrapping up its nominations this week for our feature article in our upcoming June-July issue on the fastest–growing dealers. We started this list in 2013, and since then we’ve featured 24 companies that were on the fast track to growth. That doesn’t count the five that will be featured this year.

What makes a fast-growing dealer? We have featured start-ups that posted increases year after year right out of the gate and companies in existence for decades that continue to grow.

Each year we put out a call for nominations, and yes, a window or door dealer can nominate themselves. But we also approach members of the DWM editorial advisory board and solicit heads of window manufacturing companies for companies they see as success stories.

It’s not too late.

If you have a company you would like to nominate, email me at ttaffera@glass.com by the end of this week. Or post the company name in the comments here and our staff will follow up. Once a company is nominated, we request their sales for 2015, 2016 and projected for 2017 so we can track their growth.

Below is the list of companies we have featured since 2013. At least one we know of (Next Step Living) is no longer in business. But many companies on this list (Window Nation and NewSouth Window Solutions) could appear year after year, but we do try to spread the wealth. I look forward to hearing from you, as this is one of my favorite features to work on each year. Who doesn’t love highlighting success stories?
