Our manufacturing facility sets the standard for the window and door industry.
At the turn of the century, Eagle moved into a brand-new 390,000 square foot manufacturing facility in Dubuque, Iowa, designed specifically for the manufacture of windows and doors. A dream of the company for a quarter-century, this facility has given us the ability to expand our capabilities and better serve our customers. Our goal of continuing our flexibility and on-time reliability has been accomplished.
The people who build your windows and doors make a difference.
The window and door business has a long history in the Dubuque area. Many of our employees have first- and second- generation family members who have made windows here. May of our employees have been with Eagle for over a decade. That experience pays off in attention to detail. In an uncommon pride. And in a commitment to build the best. |
