Atrium to Relocate Production Capacity of Jacksonville, Fla., Facility

Atrium Cos. Inc., manufacturer of Atrium Windows and Doors-branded products, announced yesterday that it will transfer the company's aluminum window and door manufacturing capacity at its Jacksonville, Fla., facility to its North Texas facility. The plant closure will be effective on or before December 31, 2008. The company will maintain its Davie, Fla., facility and continue to operate its Atrium Shutters business from that location.

"More than ever, current market trends require highly productive supply, and we continue to evaluate and make strategic adjustments across all of our facilities to ensure that we're operating at a competitive level," says Bob Burns, Atrium's chief operating officer. "We're extending the reach of our North Texas facility, which currently serves the Florida Panhandle. We will maintain a sales, distribution and service center in Florida to ensure uninterrupted supply to our Florida customers."
