Last week, Crystal Window and Door Systems officials gathered to commemorate a significant milestone in the company’s expansion efforts: the start of construction for its new manufacturing facility and regional corporate headquarters in Mansfield, Texas.
This strategic move signifies not only the company’s growth trajectory but also its commitment to job creation and economic development in the area.
Officials from Crystal Window and Door Systems announced that the new facility is projected to create 504 jobs and will involve a capital investment exceeding $121 million. The facility will operate under Crystal Window and Door Systems TX Ltd., a subsidiary of the national manufacturer known for its vinyl and aluminum windows as well as high-end fenestration systems.
Thomas Chen, chairperson and founder of Crystal Window and Door Systems, reflected on the company’s journey since its inception in 1990. “I started this company with a small commercial operation in New York City, and with focus, determination, and a lot of hard work with dedicated employees, Crystal is now a national manufacturer with five major production facilities across the country,” he stated. This expansion to Mansfield represents the company’s sixth major manufacturing plant, further establishing its footprint in the United States.
Located just outside the booming Dallas-Fort Worth metro area, the Mansfield site spans 46 acres and is set to be developed in phases over the coming years. Once fully operational, the facility will encompass over 600,000 square feet of production space and will be equipped to employ more than 500 skilled workers. Construction activities are slated to commence in 2025, setting the stage for a substantial increase in both production capabilities and local employment opportunities.
The development of this facility is made possible, in part, through the support of a $3,150,000 grant from the Texas Enterprise Fund, along with a $15,000 Veteran Created Job Bonus. These incentives highlight the state’s commitment to fostering a favorable business environment that encourages growth and innovation among manufacturers.
As Crystal Window and Door Systems embarks on this new chapter, the Mansfield facility is poised to enhance the company’s production capacity, streamline operations, and deliver top-quality fenestration products to meet the growing demands of the market. The concerted efforts of its leadership, employees, and local community will undoubtedly contribute to the continued success and expansion of this esteemed manufacturer in the years to come.
The future looks bright for Crystal Window and Door Systems as it sets its sights on strengthening its national presence and enhancing its contribution to the American manufacturing landscape.
