Chris Galvin, chairman and chief executive officer, Andersen Corporation
Andersen Corporation has announced it will acquire Bright Wood Corporation (Bright Wood), the largest independent manufacturer of window and patio door components and engineered dimensional lumber in the U.S. The Bright Wood business will continue to operate under local leadership.
For more than 60 years, the family-owned company has been a critical supplier to the window and door industry, enabling growth and innovation. Under its new management, Bright Wood will continue to deliver the same industry-leading products and innovative solutions to its valued customers and the company looks forward to unlocking new opportunities to strengthen its longstanding customer relationships and growing together.
With headquarters in Madras, Oregon, Bright Wood has more than 1,000 employees across 28 processing plants and five locations in the U.S. Under this new ownership, Bright Wood will be led by well-known window and door industry leader, Pat Meyer, who will serve as Bright Wood’s acting CEO, supported by several tenured members of the Bright Wood leadership team. Andersen will participate in board-level and executive-level governance but will not be involved in the day-to-day operations of the business. This management structure is designed to sustain Bright Wood’s position as a trusted source of wood and wood components to all current and future customers.
Kevin and Dallas Stovall, owners, Bright Wood Corporation
