What D&W does

D&W Inc is a privately held, Elkhart, Indiana-based diversified manufacturer and distributor founded over 50 years ago (circa 1967), employing 101–250 people. The company produces and sources a broad catalog of physical components for the recreational vehicle, manufactured housing, hospitality, multi-family, marine, automotive aftermarket, and building supply industries — spanning mirrors, glass fabrications, HVAC vents and registers, galvanized ductwork, kitchen and bath sinks and faucets, shower doors and pans, sewer hose carriers, closet systems, and aftermarket vehicle grilles. Its in-house manufacturing capabilities include mirror manufacturing, glass fabrication, injection molding, thermoforming/vacuforming, metal fabrication, and custom framing in wood, metal, and plastic, supplemented by dual domestic and international sourcing.

The company operates a dual-channel model: a direct-to-consumer e-commerce storefront (dwincorp.com) with publicly listed unit pricing across a long-tail SKU catalog, alongside B2B distribution through Division 10 (Specialty Products) and Division 7 (Thermal and Moisture Protection) building industry supplier channels and direct OEM relationships. It maintains a dedicated mirror manufacturing subsidiary, D&W Mirror Glass (dwmirrorglass.com), focused on digitally printed and antique mirror products. The 2025 product roadmap introduces a regenerative water-reuse shower, switchable glass, a rotating sewer hose, and aftermarket grilles for Mercedes Sprinter and Ford commercial van platforms, signaling active product diversification. Ownership is independent — no institutional investors, private equity backing, or parent company are evidenced in the available data, and the company appears to be founder- or family-controlled after more than five decades of continuous operation.
