After being founded in the United States in 1960, JELD-WEN entered the European market in 1993. Since then JELD-WEN has grown to encompass brands across the continent. In 2006, JELD-WEN bought Danish-based Vest Wood, one of Europe's leading door manufacturers.
From 2012, all JELD-WEN Europe products will be promoted and sold under or closely connected to the JELD-WEN brand.
In the UK, the JELD-WEN brand has been in existence since 1999 when it replaced Rugby Joinery, formerly the John Carr and Boulton and Paul businesses.
The 5 different factories -Sheffield - Doors, Melton Mowbray - Windows and Patios, Melton Mowbray - Stairs, Melton Mowbray – Component Mill, and Penrith - Doors, have extensive experience spanning many decades, in delivering quality joinery solutions to customers across Britain.
