Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey and other local dignitaries were on hand Tuesday to cut the ribbon on Sierra Pacific Window’s new manufacturing facility in Phenix City.
The $60 million investment, once fully operational, is expected to bring between 300 and 500 jobs to the area. The jobs range from technicians and engineers to machine operators, maintenance and others.
Sierra Pacific is a large millwork producer and lumber company that builds wood and vinyl windows and doors.
In mid-May 2023, Sierra Pacific Windows announced it was expanding, choosing 113 acres in Phenix City. The location includes 610,000 square feet of manufacturing and warehousing space.
At the time of the expansion announcement, company officials said the additional manufacturing space would produce the same products as its California and Wisconsin locations. With the Phenix City facility operational, the company will have more than 2 million combined square feet of manufacturing space for its window division.
At the time of the expansion announcement, Sierra Pacific Windows President Tom Takach said, “The attractiveness of Alabama as the right location for our company to advance is undeniable. We wanted a location that gives us the room to grow and expand. With our significant and rapidly growing demand for our windows and doors, locating in Phenix City is an obvious choice — from easy access to transportation corridors to the skilled labor forces in the greater Russell County area.” Sierra Pacific Windows is a division of family-owned Sierra Pacific Industries
