Ply Gem began as a manufacturer of plywood products, but through a series of acquisitions diversified into plastics production in the 1970s. It now produces a wide variety of exterior building products including vinyl siding, window and door profiles, fencing and other extruded plastic products. It claims to be the leader in both vinyl siding and vinyl windows in the USA.
Product lines: The company’s brands include its Mastic vinyl siding – which incorporates insulated siding and lap siding products. These are designed in a range of finishes, such as wood-effect. It also offers its Ply Gem-branded windows and doors, as well as trim and mouldings, fencing and guttering.
Factory locations:
Through its many acquisitions, the company has factories across North America – in both the USA and Canada. These include: five plants that produce siding, and two that produce fencing products. In all, the company produces windows and doors in 10 plants across North America – which includes one in Canada. The company recently acquired two new companies – Simonton Windows and SimEx.
