ProVia Announces Facility Expansions to Support Company Growth 

Throughout 2022 and 2023, ProVia invested in a wide range of facility expansions designed to support the ongoing growth of the company and enhance its ability to serve customers, the industry, and the community. ProVia announced some highlights of these upgrades, including:

Strasburg Facility: A 425,000-square-foot space has been added to this plant, which is located on a 75-acre property. Strasburg houses production for ProVia windows, and shipping for doors and windows. Within this facility the footprint for glass production has doubled and gone from three to nine production lines. Automation has been added to glass cutting stations along with multiple retrieval systems. New capabilities include manufacturing for FlexScreen and shaped windows, plus a new paint line. 

Walnut Creek Facility: Among many projects completed at this facility, a highlight is the 170,000-square-foot expansion to accommodate a new steel door line. Completed in 2022, this highly-automated, highly-innovative production line provides increased speed and efficiency. The picking process for steel door skins has been automated and includes a vertical storage system, which maximizes use of floor space. Other new additions include: three new sanding machines, automation systems for foaming, a new hinge machine for fiberglass doors, new quality inspection stations which enhance the ability to provide Quality Assurance, new automated packaging and banding, a new trim delivery track, and a new aluminum cladding slitter for custom sizing on exterior door frames.

New Philadelphia Facility: Purchased, renovated, and remodeled the former Times-Reporter newspaper building to accommodate Premier Profile Lamination, Inc., which ProVia acquired in June 2023. The remodel of this 25,000-square-foot facility allows for further development of streamlined lamination processes and product development, while continuing a tradition of quality and durability. 

Cherry Ridge Facility: Stone plant upgrades were completed to enhance manufacturing processes. The company doubled the number of silos for storing raw materials and added a new pouring line, new packaging line and new corner packaging lines, all of which contribute to greater efficiency and use of automation. 

Booneville Facility: Installed a new extruder for vinyl siding and added a new packaging line. 

Sugarcreek Facility: Embarked on an 18,000-square-foot addition that will be used for warehousing of vinyl patio door profiles. 

Parking Lot Expansion: Added 175 parking spots at the Walnut Creek Facility. This project was completed in collaboration with the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT), which helped with permitting and expanding the right of way. This is a great example of Ohio providing a business-friendly environment for growing companies.
