ELDON, Mo. — Quaker Windows & Doors plans to invest more than $30 million to expand its Eldon manufacturing facility. The company said the project will create 220 new jobs.
The 300,000-square-foot expansion, expected to be completed by late 2025, will increase the manufacturing campus to 750,000 square feet. Plans call for installing a vertical paint line to expand powder paint capabilities. Quaker is also expanding its insulating glass production capacity and adding additional tempering capabilities.
“This project is part of Quaker’s ongoing investment in our future,” said Kevin Blansett, CEO of Quaker Windows and Doors. “Expanding our paint, thermal-fill, and glass capabilities is essential in supporting increased capacity needs for our commercial, residential, and luxury customers throughout the country.”
“Quaker’s ongoing investment and job creation in Eldon is a testament to our state’s ability to support first-rate manufacturers,” said Missouri Gov. Mike Parson. “This company’s growth is a prime example of the results that our state’s business climate, superior infrastructure, and skilled workforce provide. We look forward to Quaker’s success as it continues its decades-long history of quality and excellence in central Missouri.”
