MI honored the manufacturing team members who produce its Milgard, Sunrise and MI Windows and Doors-branded products with its annual Founder's Award.
MI chose to honor its manufacturing team members with its 2020 Founder's Award because of the numerous challenges they overcame as they continued to work through the COVID-19 pandemic.
"Windows cannot be made in living rooms or home offices, so the stay-at-home and work-from-home orders implemented at the beginning of the pandemic did not apply to our manufacturing team members," says Matt DeSoto, MI CEO. "The team coming to the plant every day to make windows and doors dealt with a lot of emotions, but they persevered, overcoming obstacles along the way. I'm so proud of the determination and selflessness they showed throughout the year."
The Founder's Award is traditionally given to one or two team members who best exemplified MI's Guiding Principles throughout the year. The award coincides with recent increase in MI's starting rate for all manufacturing team members across the country.
MI says it will recognize and congratulate its manufacturing team members over the next several months with a variety of gifts and celebratory events.
