Associated Materials Innovations Expands Arizona Facility
Associated Materials Innovations (AMI) announced the completion of a major overhaul to its Yuma, Arizona, window manufacturing facility that includes a 100,000-square-foot expansion and four high-speed automated insulating glass lines with Super Spacer application.
What AMI leadership says
“The Yuma investments demonstrate our long-term commitment to growth and modernization,” says Frank Natoli, CEO of Associated Materials Innovations. “The separation of Associated Materials’ manufacturing and distribution businesses earlier this year gives us the focus to push AMI’s manufacturing forward and accelerate innovation for our customers.”
Overhaul details
The new Super Spacer “Plus” glass package produced in Yuma will roll out across the region throughout the fall, strengthening AMI windows sold in the Western region under the Gentek U.S., PRESERVATION, Alpine and private-label brands.
These updates include:
- High-performance glass packages – Super Spacer technology provides enhanced thermal efficiency, condensation resistance and long-term durability.
- Simplified ordering – Fewer SKUs and consistent spacer technology make it simpler to select and order products from AMI.
- Unchanged warranty coverage.
- Increased capacity – The new automated lines increase throughput by up to 5,000 units per day.
“The new lines in Yuma allow us to scale with confidence, producing high-performing glass packages with the consistency our customers expect,” says Natoli. “We’re energized by the possibilities these updates create for the West and beyond.”
Similar upgrades and enhancements are already underway for AMI’s operations in the Eastern U.S., with launches planned later this year.
