National originated
in 1968, as JoBa, Inc. The present ownership took over active
management in 1970, and the name was changed to JoBa Plastics,
Inc. Prior to 1970 the company imported and distributed
glass. In 1970, the company began direct manufacturing and
distribution of decorative garage door window trim to garage
door manufacturers and installing dealers.
In 1974, the
company changed its name to Architectural Plastics and began
manufacturing items relating to the home building industry.
These products were manufactured from plastic rather than
wood as had been traditionally used. Distribution of our
products at that time was primarily to surrounding states
and the local trade area.
In 1976, National
Door Supply Co. was formed and began importing and selling
fasteners and other items to the garage door industry. These
products quickly grew until the company became a full service
supplier to both the garage door manufacturers and dealers.
Today the company serves over 25 garage door manufacturers
and over six thousand installing and servicing dealers in
North and South America and many foreign countries. Our
product line has also grown to serve the millwork industry
with decorative door lites, shutters, and other related
items.
In 1986, Architectural
Plastics was purchased in its entirety and became a wholly
owned subsidiary of National Door Supply Co., Inc. In 1989
product lines from both companies were merged and the company
was renamed, National Door Industries, Inc. as it remains
today.
Our manufacturing
facilities have also grown with us, from our original 6000
square feet to our present 100,000 square foot facility.
The number of employees has also grown from one person,
27 years ago to today's number which exceeds over 140 loyal
and dedicated employees.
We take pride
that many of our employees have completed over 10 years
of service. Our company was founded on strong discipline,
hard work, dedication, perseverance, integrity, good products
at a fair price, and the tireless efforts of our employees
and management. These things are the foundation that has
made the company grow to where it is today, and will certainly
determine it's future.
We are proud
of our business, our employees, our standing in the community,
and more especially our customers who make it all possible.
We look forward to another 28 years of serving our customers
and in providing employment in our community. |
