Jeld-Wen moves to North Carolina Comment MailTribune.com Writer Posted Sep. 4, 2015 at 11:22 AM Updated Sep 4, 2015 at 11:23 AM Posted Sep. 4, 2015 at 11:22 AM Updated Sep 4, 2015 at 11:23 AM » Social News PORTLAND — Jeld-Wen Holdings Inc., once Oregon's largest private company, has made a quiet exit, leaving its global headquarters in Klamath Falls and moving to Charlotte, N.C. The Oregonian reports a spokeswoman for the multinational window-and-door manufacturer confirmed the company's big move Thursday. Darcie Meihoff said the company's transition has been a slow one. Executives initially denied rumors that Jeld-Wen would move to Charlotte, but it moved in 2012 to be closer to East Coast customers. When the company sold a majority of its ownership to Onex Corp., a Canadian private equity firm, for $871 million in 2011, it employed about 1,200 people in Oregon at its headquarters and factories. Meihoff said Jeld-Wen still has a presence in Oregon with a research and development division and manufacturing operations. Moody's Corp. says Jeld-Wen reported $3.5 billion in revenue in the previous fiscal year. The Wall Street Journal reported Aug. 3 that Jeld-Wen was working on a potential IPO that would value the company at as much as $4 billion. That valuation would give Onex a huge profit from its acquisition. The 2011 sale gave Jeld-Wen an implied value of $1.5 billion. — Associated Press MailTribune.com Writer Posted Sep. 4, 2015 at 11:22 AM Updated Sep 4, 2015 at 11:23 AM » Comment or view comments Reader Reaction » STAY INFORMED Email NewsLetter Sign Up Today Sign up for our newsletter and have the top headlines from your community delivered right to your inbox.
