History, Growth, and Commitment

Tecton began in 1990 as a partnership between our president, John Jambois, and Marvin Windows and Doors. John's business plan was to design a window and door product line using pultrusions for the framing components. Tecton and Marvin worked closely throughout the design, development and testing of these products. The result was the successful Integrity® product line for the new construction market.

In 2002, Infinity® from Marvin was introduced for the replacement window market again featuring Tecton's pultruded framing components.

The History of Tecton

Tecton is one of the highest volume pultruders in the world. We manufacture our product 24/7 in a 110,000 square-foot plant that has set a standard for lean manufacturing and stringent environmental controls. In 2006, Tecton Products expanded to the Roanoke, VA area with a new 75,000 square-foot plant. We have the people, facilities, expertise and experience to meet our customers' quality standards and delivery requirements.

Growing from 12 associates in 1992, our present-day success is made possible by over 200 associates including engineers and research scientists.

We are committed to lean manufacturing and Six Sigma improvement programs. This dedication helps Tecton remain a leader and gives us the ability to offer our partners unparalleled quality and consistency. In recognition of the effectiveness of our quality control system, our continual improvement and our strong customer focus, we achieved ISO 9001:2000 certification in 2002. (Certificate Number FM 69817). In 2005, Tecton earned North Dakota's first OSHA Safety and Health Achievement Recognition Program (SHARP) designation. This achievement recognized Tecton for demonstrating exemplary safety and health management programs.

Tecton maintains an active presence in the National Fenestration Rating Council (NFRC), the Association of Millwork Distributors (AMD) and the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB).

Tecton has been certified Maximum Achievable Control Technology (MACT) by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Tecton is the only pultrusion company that is in full compliance with the 1990 Clean Air Act.
