Andersen acquires Quebec-based luxury manufacturer

Andersen Corp., the privately-held window and door manufacturer, has acquired Fenêtres MQ Inc., a luxury window and door manufacturer headquartered in Sainte-Agathe, Quebec, Canada

Founded in 1975, MQ is also a privately-held company that produces products for both residential and commercial segments. The company has locations in Canada and Italy. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.

“The acquisition of MQ expands Andersen’s product portfolio, increases our manufacturing capabilities and broadens our geographic reach,” said Jay Lund, Andersen Chairman and CEO. “We are pleased that MQ’s founder and president Gilles Morin will continue to lead the business as we grow our presence in North America and Europe.”

Based in Bayport, Minn., Andersen manufactures window and door products under the Andersen, Renewal by Andersen, Silver Line, American Craftsman, EMCO, and Weiland brands. The MQ brand will be retained and added to its portfolio of brands, Andersen said.
