Andersen Corporation has announced it will acquire Bright Wood Corporation, an 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.
About Bright Wood
For more than 60 years, the family-owned company has been a supplier to the window and door industry. Under its new management, Bright Wood will continue to deliver the same products and solutions to its customers and company officials look forward to unlocking new opportunities to strengthen its longstanding customer relationships.
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 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.
