As Pella Corporation marks its 100th anniversary, the company isn’t just celebrating the past—it’s being recognized for shaping the future of American manufacturing. The window and door maker has received three major national awards this summer, highlighting its commitment to innovation, operational excellence, and a people-first workplace culture.
The honors include a Future of Manufacturing Award from the National Association of Manufacturers, a 2025 Core77 Design Award for product innovation, and the WalkMe Realizer Award for Best Employee Experience.
These accolades come at a time when the company is rolling out new technologies and design solutions aimed at improving both customer experience and employee workflow. One standout innovation is Steady Set, an installation solution developed by observing real-world challenges faced by installers. The result is a more efficient, reliable process that boosts both quality and ease of use.
But it’s not just about products—Pella’s recognition for employee experience underscores the company’s investment in digital tools and training that help team members adapt and thrive during periods of change. This recent wave of awards reflects how deeply innovation is woven into every layer of the company, from the factory floor to leadership strategy.
With a century behind it, Pella is using its legacy as a springboard into the next era of manufacturing—one that’s smarter, more responsive, and more human-focused than ever.
