Advancing with purpose

Our Story

At Marvin, We’re Driven by This Purpose: To Imagine and Create Better Ways of Living.

As people spend more time indoors, we recognize that our work isn’t just about building better windows and doors — it’s about opening new possibilities for how people live, work, think and feel inside a Marvin space.

Since the day we opened our doors in 1912 as a family-owned and -led cedar and lumber company, we’ve looked for ways to help people live better. We continue to evolve by raising the bar, building quality, beauty and simplicity into people’s everyday lives.

We are Marvin, and this is our story — thank you for being part of it.

Design for People

We design for how people live, imagining new ways to help them feel healthier and happier in the spaces where they live, work and play.

A Natural Connection

Warm sunlight, fresh air and a connection to the natural world can instantly change the mood of a home or office. We design our products to make that connection feel seamless—even in the most challenging of spaces.

Thoughtful Details

We are committed to design that is as functional and intuitive as it is beautiful. Crafted with exceptional skill, our products deliver quality you can see, touch, and feel, beauty that brings joy, and performance that stands the test of time.

Innovate with Intention

We see infinite potential in how spaces can serve people better.

Pushing Boundaries

Rather than meeting expectations, we push ourselves to elevate the standard for excellence. Whether we’re replicating historic millwork, engineering uninterrupted views or improving energy performance, we look for what we can do better — and then we design it.

An Open Future

We are driven by a spirit of possibility. As needs change and people seek ways to improve their spaces, we must also evolve to meet these needs in new and unexpected ways. For every innovation, we continue to measure our success against how well we help people live happier and healthier lives.

Do What’s Right

When you do the right thing, the rest falls into place.

Building Community

We put people first — not just in how we design, but in how we build for the future. We commit to long-lasting and trusting relationships with our employees, customers, partners and communities, and are there for them when they need us most.

Committed to Sustainability

We’re used to taking the long-term view, and we recognize that a meaningful commitment to sustainable operations is just good business and the right thing to do. We are committed to sustainable business practices, both for the environment and for the communities in which we operate. At Marvin, sustainability goes beyond “green” business practices.

This year, we were recognized with two prestigious awards related to our Denver facility: NAIOP – Presented by the Colorado Chapter of the Commercial Real Estate Association and ULI – Urban Land Institute. As we work towards more sustainable manufacturing of our products, our operations, and construction of future campus locations and distribution centers to support our growth, we are also making efforts to build sustainable communities across the United States, where Marvin products are manufactured.

"Together, we can help people live better through beautiful design and exceptional quality."
