PGT Buying Anlin Windows

PGT Innovations has signed an agreement to acquire Anlin Windows & Doors, Clovis, Ca., for $126 million.

“This transaction is an excellent opportunity to diversify and expand our market presence across the growing West Coast region,” said Jeff Jackson, president and CEO of PGT Innovations. “Anlin Windows & Doors is 90% focused on the vinyl remodel and replacement market while the focus of Western Window Systems—our other Western Business Unit brand—is mainly on new home construction with aluminum products. This acquisition will allow us to better serve both markets by providing a robust product platform under one umbrella.”

Anlin Windows & Doors will operate under PGT’s Western Business Unit. Anlin CEO John Maloney will stay on in an advisory role with Mark Maloney becoming VP and general manager of Anlin, once the deal closes early in fourth quarter 2021.
