JELD-WEN windows are owned by JELD-WEN Holding, Inc., which is a publicly traded company on the New York Stock Exchange under ticker JELD, not recently bought by another company, though JELD-WEN has acquired other window companies over time. JELD-WEN was founded in 1960 in Klamath Falls, Oregon, by Richard Wendt, and has grown through acquisitions including Norco, Pozzi, Summit, and others. JELD-WEN itself was acquired by private equity firm Onex Corporation in 2011, which took majority stake, and then JELD-WEN went public in 2017 with IPO. Currently, JELD-WEN is publicly owned with institutional investors holding majority shares. JELD-WEN has not been bought by a larger window conglomerate like Andersen or Pella, it remains independent public company. JELD-WEN acquired companies like VPI Quality Windows in Australia, and has manufacturing plants in US, Canada, and Europe. So who bought JELD-WEN windows historically includes Onex Corporation buying controlling stake in 2011, and public investors through IPO in 2017, but as of 2026 JELD-WEN remains independent publicly traded company headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina, with manufacturing in many locations, not owned by Chinese or other window company.
