Earthwise Group

What Earthwise Group does

Earthwise Group, LLC is a private cooperative network of more than a dozen independently owned vinyl window and patio door manufacturers operating across the United States, headquartered in Loudon, Tennessee. Founded in 2004 by manufacturers banding together to increase collective buying power, the network has cumulatively produced over 10 million windows and doors engineered for specific U.S. climate zones — from hurricane-rated products in Florida to sub-zero-rated units in Minnesota. Its core product portfolio includes single-hung, double-hung, sliding, casement, awning, bay, bow, picture windows, sliding patio doors, and the Woodgrain Series, all built with proprietary SunShield vinyl compound, multi-chambered frames, fusion-welded construction, and Low-E glazing with argon/krypton gas fills.

The company's revenue model is one-time hardware sales of custom-manufactured windows and doors, priced per project through local manufacturers. Go-to-market combines a national brand that generates and distributes free leads to a dealer/contractor channel with direct-to-consumer sales via each regional manufacturer. The customer base spans residential homeowners (replacement and remodeling), dealers and contractors (who install Earthwise products for clients), and commercial/new construction builders requiring code-compliant, climate-engineered windows. Certifications including Made in USA Certified (first in the window category), ENERGY STAR Manufacturing Partner, NFRC, Keystone, Dade County, and Texas Department of Insurance create procurement credentials for commercial and government channels.

Earthwise holds no disclosed external institutional funding and is structured as a member-owned LLC rather than a traditional parent-subsidiary hierarchy. In 2025, the company reported 17% sales growth over 2024, opened two new manufacturing locations in Arizona and California, and completed a 60,000 sq ft expansion of the Boise, Idaho facility, which drove a 70% sales increase over two years. The network continues to expand its product line, with a black-on-black finish and a new regional patio door (EWKC) launched in early 2026.
