MARVIN®
The History of Marvin®
Marvin® has a rich history that dates back to 1912, when the company was founded by Marvin Walter in Warroad, Minnesota. Originally named Marvin Lumber and Cedar Company, it began as a small operation focused on providing high-quality lumber and building materials to the local market.
In the 1920s, the company expanded its product line to include window and door manufacturing, responding to the growing demand in the construction industry. Over the decades, Marvin® became known for its craftsmanship and durability, producing products that could withstand harsh northern climates.
The company saw significant growth during the post-World War II housing boom, which increased demand for residential construction and, subsequently, windows and doors. By the 1970s, Marvin had established itself as a leader in the industry, known for its innovative designs and energy-efficient products. This commitment to innovation led to the introduction of various advancements, such as fiberglass windows in the 1990s, which further cemented the brand's reputation for quality.
Throughout the years, Marvin® has maintained a focus on sustainability and the use of responsibly sourced materials. The company has continually adapted to changing market demands and environmental considerations, leading to the development of products that emphasize energy efficiency and environmental stewardship.
Today, Marvin® operates with a vision of enhancing the places where people live and work, offering a wide range of customizable window and door solutions for residential and commercial use. The company remains family-owned, with a commitment to quality and customer satisfaction that has persevered for over a century.
