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.
