Andersen Corp. to build new plant, bring 900 jobs to metro Atlanta

Andersen Windows says it plans to build a new manufacturing facility in Henry County, brining 900 new jobs to the metro area.

Gov. Brian Kemp’s office announced that a new Renewal by Andersen plant will be built in the Locust Grove area and will be the company’s first manufacturing facility in Georgia.

“This manufacturing facility will be just the latest to benefit from this unique advantage of our No. 1 state for business. We’re also looking forward to the opportunities this project will bring to hardworking Georgians in Locust Grove and the surrounding area,” Kemp said.

Andersen Corp. said the facility will initially support Renewal by Andersen, the company’s start-to-finish window and door replacement division, with capacity to expand in future years to support additional Andersen-enterprise product lines.

“From flooring to appliances to windows, Georgia businesses play a significant role in helping families personalize their homes. We’re excited for Renewal by Andersen to join our manufacturing community, and congratulations to Locust Grove and Henry County,” said the Georgia Department of Economic Development Commissioner Pat Wilson.

“With a strong labor force, favorable business environment, and accessible transportation; the State of Georgia, Henry County, and the City of Locust Grove in particular, is a great place to do business. We are confident in our choice to make this significant investment in the State of Georgia,” said Chris Galvin, Andersen Corporation president and chief executive officer.

Construction on the facility will begin late this year 2023, with operations expected to begin in 2025.
