Marvin Windows and Doors (Warroad, Minn., U.S.) has opened its newest manufacturing facility at 9820 Leavenworth Road in Kansas City, Kansas. The 400,000-square-foot facility will be a hub for the manufacturing, fabrication and assembly of the company’s fiberglass window and door solutions.

“With production underway at our newest manufacturing facility, Marvin is entering an exciting stage in our development in Kansas City,” says Paul Marvin, CEO of Marvin. “Last year, we collaborated with local leaders to map out a vision for Marvin’s growth in the area and our commitment to the community and its talented workforce. That vision has come to life, and we look forward to seeing it continue to evolve and grow.”

Since beginning construction on the facility in spring 2024, Marvin has hired 70 full-time team members in Kansas City, with hiring to continue in the months ahead. The company anticipates a 600-person workforce in Kansas City by the close of 2028.

“Marvin’s choice to expand their business in Kansas City is key in helping our community further establish a promising employment pipeline to attract and retain the next generation of modern manufacturing talent locally,” says Dr. Greg Mosier, Kansas City Kansas Community College president. “Strong employers and economic development go hand in hand. We’ve seen over the past year how Marvin’s dedication to both innovation and employee well-being will support Kansas City’s continued growth, and I look forward to a long-term relationship that helps our graduates and our community thrive.”

Designed with employee well-being in mind, Marvin’s custom-built facility features details including climate-controlled manufacturing space, exterior patios, LED lighting paired with natural light throughout and electric forklifts for reduced indoor air pollution. The space also offers employee amenities including bright, spacious break rooms with food and beverage options and on-site personal storage. 

Robert Conchola, director of operations for Marvin in Kansas City, thanks its local build partners Scannell Properties, JLL, Finkle + Williams Architecture, Olsson, Kadean Construction and many others for helping to complete the facility on time and on budget.
