What’s the secret behind the success of a century-old company? For Marvin, the American-made, world-renowned manufacturer of windows and doors, it’s evolution by way of continuity.

For over one hundred years, Marvin has been crafting performance-driven design solutions from its headquarters in Warroad, Minnesota. What began in 1912 as a family-owned and -operated cedar and lumber company has evolved into one of the industry’s leaders for functional, design-forward glazing systems. At Marvin, what was true in the beginning remains much the same today: a focus on creating built environments that promote better ways of living.

For chief marketing + experience officer Christine Marvin, meaning comes through equipping personal spaces with time-tested, hardworking, and beautiful designs. As a proud and longstanding Marvin partner, Signature Windows + Doors sat down with Christine to chat about what it means to her to be from the fourth generation of Marvins to steward the family legacy.

She shares her insights on the company’s culture of customer and community commitment; what excites her about how Marvin’s innovations can integrate the past, present, and future; and how returning to her hometown has helped her own young family find a sense of grounded purpose.
