BAYPORT, Minn. — Andersen Windows broke ground recently on an expansion of its Renewal by Andersen manufacturing campus in Cottage Grove, Minn.
“We are excited to expand our Renewal by Andersen operations to support the rapid growth of this business and the signature service our customers know and expect,” said Andersen Windows Chairman and CEO Jay Lund. “We are proud to invest in our Minnesota-based operations and are grateful for the support of the City of Cottage Grove, the Minnesota Department of Economic Development led by Commissioner Grove, and Governor Walz and the State of Minnesota.”
The expansion, adjacent to the existing Renewal by Andersen facility in Cottage Grove, will include a 350,000-square-foot Value Add Center to accommodate manufacturing, warehouse and office space.
“With the support of the state, Andersen’s expansion will create new jobs for Minnesotans right here in Cottage Grove,” said Governor Tim Walz. “It’s this type of partnership and collaboration that make Minnesota a top state to live, work, and raise a family.”
Andersen Windows plans to invest more than $35 million in the expansion and is expected to create at least 125 new jobs.
“Renewal by Andersen has been a member of our community since 1999 when they first completed construction of their original building. Over the past 21 years Renewal by Andersen has continued to expand and reinvest in our community,” said Cottage Grove Mayor Myron Bailey. “The City of Cottage Grove is excited and proud that once again Renewal by Andersen has decided to reinvest in our community with the construction of a new building and the creation of over 120 jobs!”
The new facility will alleviate current space constraints by providing warehouse, office, distribution and additional parking space, the company said. With the new Value Add Center, the existing manufacturing facility will be reorganized for future manufacturing expansions.
“This expansion is a strategic opportunity to increase our capacity to meet growing customer demand for our signature full-service window replacement services,” said Paul Delahunt, president of Renewal by Andersen. “Delighting our customers every day is our top priority and key to our success. This is an exciting time for Renewal as we celebrate the growth of our business.”
