CYPRESS, CA – Fernweh Group LLC (“Fernweh”) is excited to announce the acquisition of Wincore Window Company, LLC (“Wincore”), a leading manufacturer of vinyl windows and doors. This investment represents Fernweh’s new platform focused on the Building Products sector, following the successful establishment of Avail Infrastructure Solutions and Dabico Airport Solutions.
Wincore, headquartered in Parkersburg, WV, has developed a strong reputation since its founding in 2007, driven by a customer-first approach and high-quality manufacturing capabilities. Over its 17-year history, Wincore has grown from a startup into a major player in the window and door industry.
Nick Santhanam, CEO of Fernweh Group, stated, “We are thrilled to welcome Wincore into our portfolio. This acquisition aligns with our strategic focus on the Building Products sector at a time when the housing and construction market is poised for revival. With 12-month CPI falling below 3% and the Federal Reserve implementing two rate cuts in 2024, we see significant pent-up demand for housing and home renovations in the U.S., making this an ideal moment for investment in the building products space. The talented management team at Wincore has driven impressive success to date, providing a strong foundation for expanding the business and unlocking its full potential in the years ahead. This partnership is a perfect fit as we deepen our commitment to the Building Products sector.”
Brian Standley, President of Wincore, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership: “This transaction honors the vision of our founders and provides us with an opportunity to enhance our offerings and service to customers. We look forward to collaborating with Fernweh to build on our strong foundation and drive growth in the coming years.”
The transition will be seamless for Wincore’s customers, vendors, and employees as all senior management will remain in place. Fernweh’s operational partners will support Wincore in maximizing its brand and product offerings while ensuring continuity.
Fernweh is committed to capitalizing on growth opportunities within the Building Products sector with improving macroeconomic outlook, pent-up residential construction demand, and recent legislation allocating funds to infrastructure projects.
