What RJT Industries does

RJT Industries is a family-owned custom vinyl window and door manufacturer founded in 1976 by OJ Kennel, headquartered in Woodbridge, Virginia with a second showroom in Henrico. The company produces custom-sized vinyl windows and doors fabricated in 1/8-inch increments using a proprietary Frame Processing Center that the company states reduces production time by approximately 50% versus conventional methods. Its product portfolio includes the HP Energy Star 7 line, the Gold/Silver/Bronze performance series, and Eclipse black windows, all built around a Sunshield vinyl formulation. The firm is a founding member of the Earthwise Group, an independent network of fenestration manufacturers, and was the first brand in that network to earn Made-in-USA certification.

The business operates a strictly B2B distribution model, serving contractors, commercial builders, and remodelers across Virginia, Maryland, North Carolina, and Washington DC. RJT does not sell directly to homeowners, and its named commercial customers include Bethesda Marriott and Oakland Apartments. The company advertises a 50-mile delivery radius from its Virginia facilities and a two-week standard delivery cycle, with go-to-market anchored by showroom presence, contractor relationships, and brand association with the Earthwise Group's national footprint. Pricing and contract structures are not publicly disclosed but follow standard custom fenestration trade terms negotiated on a project basis.

RJT is approaching its 50th year of continuous operation in 2026, having remained under family ownership across two generations. It has no disclosed funding rounds, external investors, or M&A activity, and the company's recent strategic emphasis has been on product-line expansion, Made-in-USA certification, and brand-building via national broadcast exposure rather than geographic expansion beyond the Mid-Atlantic.
