Edgetech I.G., built on a unique technology invented in 1985 by Edgetech I.G. Ltd in Ottawa, Canada, was officially formed in 1989 as a fully-owned subsidiary of Lauren Manufacturing. Super Spacer^®, the world’s only TrueWARM^®, all-foam edge seal product line, has revolutionized fenestration industry for more than 20 years with maximum condensation resistance, durability and energy performance.

 

After substantial growth in its first five years of operations, Edgetech I.G. was made autonomous from Lauren Manufacturing as a stand alone entity in 1994. A new holding company, Lauren International, Inc., was formed by CEO and Chairman of the Board, Dale Lauren Foland, for the two divisions – Lauren Manufacturing and Edgetech I.G. Inc. In that same year, Edgetech’s production was moved from Lauren International’s headquarters in New Philadelphia, Ohio, to its current 476,000 square foot facility located on 66 acres in Cambridge, Ohio. The facility also houses Edgetech’s administrative offices, Marketing Services group, and extensive research and development laboratory.

 

In recent years, Edgetech has gained considerable market share internationally through its commitment to educating regulators, window manufacturers and homeowners worldwide on the energy-saving benefits of warm edge technology. To establish its worldwide presence, the company opened Edgetech UK in Coventry, England, and Edgetech Europe GmbH in Neuss, Germany. After nearly 300 percent sales growth in the UK between 2003 and 2006, Edgetech opened its first international manufacturing facility in Coventry, England, in July 2007. The $4.4 million investment resulted in a world-class facility to further facilitate the growth of warm edge technology in Europe.

 

In 2008, Edgetech earned its ISO 9001:2000 certification. The company was also named to the Inc. 5000 list of the fastest growing private companies in 2007 and 2008 by Inc. Magazine.

 

Built on innovation, Edgetech continues to develop new ideas and concepts to revolutionize the industry. Additionally, Edgetech is committed to educating the industry and homeowners about high-performance windows and their benefits in reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
