Milgard History
From its origins as a small family-owned glass company in Tacoma, Washington in 1958 to becoming the premiere West Coast window and door manufacturer that it is today, Milgard has always been a service-driven company that creates a family. Employees, certified dealers, and customers are all essential to the Milgard experience.
Milgard now owns and operates five design and manufacturing plants on the West Coast: the original Tacoma location, Portland, Oregon in the Pacific Northwest, Sacramento, Simi Valley, and Temecula in California.
There have been some changes in the ownership at Milgard. In 2001, Milgard was acquired by Masco Corporation, and in 2019 it was bought out by MI Windows and Doors. MI is one of the largest suppliers of energy-efficient windows and doors in the country and provides various products for both new construction and the replacement door and window industry.
Though under the purview of MI, Milgard still maintains the corporate culture and manufacturing excellence that has made their products so well-respected and well-known. Milgard tempers their own glass in two West Coast plants under the Milgard Tempering, Inc. moniker. This tempering operation is one of the most respected in the country. They make their own insulated glass and fiberglass frames and produce all components for their vinyl and fiberglass windows and doors.
All of the products Milgard manufactures are specifically engineered to withstand the weather and climates that are particular to San Diego. All windows and doors are made to order because no single window or door fits all spaces. This allows Milgard to maintain the strictest quality control standards. Internally manufacturing every component of their windows and doors ensures that nothing is left to chance. Consistently offering the highest quality goods is what gained Milgard its reputation, after all.
