incorporating Super
Spacer® in every window
it produces on its fully
automated Lisec line.
According to Mike
Yoder, plant manager,
the company made the
decision to begin producing
its own IG in 2002. With
assistance of nearby
neighbor Edgetech, ProVia
was fully operational with
the Lisec line, producing
approximately 3,000 IG
units per week by 2003.
“We saw where the industry
was heading and our
customers were already
demanding highly efficient
windows, so we saw an
opportunity to get ahead
of the game,” Yoder said.
“When the line went in,
we were set up for triples
immediately. That was a
great decision as our sale
of triples has risen steadily
over the years.”
ProVia will continue
putting an increased
focus on its window
lines by continuously
improving products and
process to always stay
ahead of the game.
“Edgetech was integral
in helping us acquire
the right equipment and
for getting us up and
running,” Yoder said. “It
was totally new for us and
so we worked to get past
the bumps in the process.
Between Super Spacer and
the automated line, we
were able to get our hands
fully around quality.”
