Pella

Pella Corporation is a privately held, family-owned manufacturer of windows and doors with a long-standing presence in North America. The company was founded in 1925 by Pete and Lucille Kuyper, who started the business in Des Moines with a patented retractable window screen. Not long after, Pella relocated to its namesake town in Iowa, where it remains headquartered today.

Over the past century, Pella has grown from a small local operation into a major industry player. As of November 2025, the company operates more than 200 showrooms and maintains 18 manufacturing locations across the United States and Canada. Its products are widely used in residential, commercial, and institutional settings, and the brand is recognized for its commitment to quality and innovation.

In recent years, Pella has focused on expanding both its manufacturing and showroom footprint. The company has invested in new facilities, modernized existing locations, and increased recruitment for skilled trades and manufacturing roles. This growth strategy is reflected in its steady expansion into new markets and ongoing efforts to enhance production capacity and product offerings.

Pella’s centennial year was marked by notable milestones, including the launch of new community projects and an expanded focus on workforce development. The company’s approach to growth, its broad geographic reach, and its established reputation make it a trusted partner for a variety of real estate projects, from new construction to renovation. Pella’s presence in both urban and suburban markets, along with its diverse showroom formats, positions it as a reliable and adaptable brand for commercial real estate professionals seeking long-term value and partnership.
