ANDERSEN CORPORATION PURCHASES EAGLE WINDOW & DOOR

Products to Continue to be Sold through Weather-Tek Design Center

Andersen Corporation announced today that it has reached a definitive agreement to purchase Eagle Window & Door, an Iowa-based manufacturer of aluminum clad wood windows and patio doors. Brookfield-based Weather-Tek Design Center, Inc. represents Eagle Windows in southeastern Wisconsin.

Dave Molenda, owner of Weather-Tek Design Center, said, “We are excited with the merger and all the possibilities it will bring, as we are dedicated to continuing our strong presence in the Milwaukee area window industry. Eagle Windows makes a great product, yet it lacked notoriety in our area. We now have instant credibility, which will better position Weather-Tek in the local window, door, and skylight market.”

Eagle employs nearly 900 people in a manufacturing facility in Dubuque, Iowa. The company focuses primarily on high-end residential and commercial construction projects.

“We are excited about the prospects of becoming part of the Andersen enterprise,” said Dave Beeken, president and chief executive officer of Eagle. “The combination of Eagle and Andersen will provide great opportunities for our customers and employees.”

Eagle is currently owned primarily by Linsalata Capital Partners, a Cleveland-based private equity group. The terms of the agreement were not disclosed. A tentative closing date is set for late May.

Andersen is the world's largest manufacturer of wood windows, patio doors and storm doors, and celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2003. The company is privately owned and has a strong history of commitment to its business partners, employees, community, and the environment.
