Wilson Partitions

What Wilson Partitions does

Wilson Partitions is a US manufacturer of made-to-order interior aluminum frame systems for commercial interiors, operating since at least the mid-1980s as a subsidiary of Arcadia Products LLC under the Arcadia Inc. group. The company produces aluminum door frames, glazing systems, sliding systems, aluminum swing and sliding doors, fire-rated frames, pocket door frames, and applied muntins, all cut-to-size and pre-finished for direct delivery to job sites. Its product portfolio is organized around multiple profile series (Snap-On Trim series 200-725 and Projected Profile series 2300-2400) covering wall thicknesses from 3" to 9 1/2", with fire-rated assemblies at 20 and 90 minute ratings and a 2820 Series multi-slide entrance system for larger openings.

The company's technical differentiation rests on vertically integrated finishing capabilities: an in-house 7-step electrolytic anodizing line producing colors from champagne to black, and an in-house paint line using dip tank pretreatment, electrostatic liquid paint application, and a 500°F cure oven with thermal oxidizer VOC control. Both lines support custom color matching from chips or material samples. All products carry LEED for Commercial Interiors compliance with a documented 47.9% weighted recycled content (11.1% post-consumer, 36.8% post-industrial), positioning Wilson Partitions for specification in green-certified commercial builds.

The business operates a sales-led, quote-based direct sales model selling to architects, interior designers, and commercial contractors across US commercial real estate end markets. Distribution is supported by three regional offices covering the West Coast (Vernon, CA), Central (Dallas, TX), and East Coast (Stamford, CT) for nationwide shipping with reduced lead times. The company employs 51-100 people, holds no public funding, and is wholly owned under the Arcadia Inc. conglomerate structure with no disclosed outside investors or PE involvement.
