BUSINESS Jeld-Wen files to go public with stock offering Company moved headquarters from Klamath Falls to North Carolina last year Comment By Klamath Falls Herald & News MailTribune.com By Klamath Falls Herald & News Posted Jun. 3, 2016 at 6:23 PM By Klamath Falls Herald & News Posted Jun. 3, 2016 at 6:23 PM » Social News Jeld-Wen Holding Inc., once Oregon's largest private company, is officially going public. The company, now based in Charlotte, North Carolina, filed a registration statement this week with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission seeking an initial public offering. The statement says the window-and-door manufacturer will sell $100 million in stock, but Bloomberg reported that figure is a placeholder and the company could actually raise as much as $500 million and command a $5 billion valuation. Based for decades in Klamath Falls, Jeld-Wen quietly moved its corporate headquarters to Charlotte last year amid reports it was planning the initial public offering. A company spokeswoman told The Oregonian/OregonLive at the time that Jeld-Wen still had more employees in Oregon than any other state, but declined to provide a figure. The company, which held the naming rights as recently as 2014 to the downtown Portland stadium now known as Providence Park, nearly collapsed during the housing crash. It sold its majority ownership to the Canadian private-equity firm Onex Corp. in 2011 for $871 million. There were about 1,200 Jeld-Wen employees in Oregon then, and about 20,000 workers worldwide.
