MITER Brands Reshapes California Operations
MITER Brands has announced plans to close its Simi Valley manufacturing facility in early June as part of a broader strategic initiative aimed at streamlining operations and enhancing efficiency. This move is part of the company’s long-term efforts to optimize its manufacturing footprint while maintaining its commitment to high-quality products and customer satisfaction.
Strategic Shift in Manufacturing Operations
The decision to consolidate operations comes as MITER Brands continues to evolve its production strategy to better serve its customers and enhance operational efficiency. By centralizing manufacturing in more advanced facilities, the company expects to improve processes, increase productivity, and drive innovation.
Craig Nath, Senior Vice President of Operations for MITER Brands, emphasized the significance of the Simi Valley team’s contributions. “Our team in Simi Valley has been instrumental in delivering the finest products, services, and customer experiences to our customers,” said Nath. “We are incredibly grateful for the dedication and hard work of our team members. Their contributions have played a vital role in the success of the MILGARD brand.”
MITER Brands recognizes that transitioning production to other facilities requires careful planning and execution. The company is committed to ensuring a seamless shift by leveraging its advanced manufacturing capabilities while keeping customer service at the forefront.
Continued Availability of MILGARD Products
Customers and dealer partners of MITER Brands can rest assured that the availability of MILGARD products will not be affected by this transition. The company has invested heavily in nearby manufacturing facilities to ensure continuity in production and service. This restructuring effort is designed to enhance production capabilities while maintaining MITER Brands’ reputation for precision-built, energy-efficient windows and doors.
“As we make this transition, we remain committed to ensuring a seamless experience for our customers and partners,” Nath added. “Over the past several years, we have made significant investments in nearby facilities that will allow us to maintain our high standards and continue delivering exceptional value.”
The consolidation is expected to provide operational benefits such as improved lead times, enhanced product quality, and optimized logistics. By centralizing production within facilities equipped with the latest technology and manufacturing processes, MITER Brands aims to stay at the forefront of the residential window and door industry.
Support for Affected Employees
As MITER Brands prepares to close the Simi Valley facility, the company is taking steps to support affected employees during the transition. Recognizing the importance of its workforce, MITER Brands has committed to offering assistance in job placement, both within the company and in the broader local community where possible.
The company has emphasized that its goal is to provide opportunities for team members to continue their careers within MITER Brands’ other locations. For employees unable to transition within the company, MITER Brands will work with local employment agencies and community organizations to identify job opportunities that align with their skills and experience.
MITER Brands values the dedication and contributions of all its employees and remains focused on ensuring that those impacted receive the necessary resources and support during this time of change.
