For eight decades, Craft-Bilt has remained committed to one simple mission: designing and manufacturing premium outdoor living products that homeowners and contractors can trust. As we celebrate 80 years of American manufacturing, we reflect on the relationships, innovations, and craftsmanship that have made this milestone possible.
Since opening our doors in 1946, Craft-Bilt has grown from a small, family-owned and operated manufacturer into one of North America’s leading producers of sunrooms, retractable awnings, pergola canopies, aluminum railing systems, waterproof decking, and other outdoor living solutions. Through three generations of family leadership, we’ve remained committed to the same core values that guided our company from the very beginning: quality craftsmanship, integrity, innovation, and building lasting relationships with our customers and dealer partners. While our products and manufacturing capabilities have evolved over the years, those values continue to define who we are today.
Eight Decades of Innovation
The outdoor living industry has transformed dramatically over the last 80 years. Homeowners today are looking for more than just products. They’re looking for spaces that improve the way they live, entertain, relax, and connect with family and friends.
At Craft-Bilt, we’ve embraced that evolution by continually investing in product innovation. From our thermally engineered sunroom systems and modern retractable awnings to our maintenance-free aluminum decking, premium railing systems, and pergola canopies, every product is designed with durability, performance, and long-term value in mind.
Innovation comes from listening to our customers, collaborating with our nationwide dealer network, and continually improving our engineering and manufacturing processes. Every new product, design enhancement, and manufacturing advancement reflects decades of experience combined with a commitment to meeting the needs of tomorrow’s homeowners.
Proudly Manufactured in the USA
American manufacturing has always been at the heart of who we are.
Every day, skilled craftsmen, engineers, designers, and production specialists work together at our Pennsylvania manufacturing facility to build custom outdoor living products that meet the highest standards of quality. Unlike mass-produced imports, many Craft-Bilt products are custom manufactured to order, ensuring every project receives the attention to detail it deserves.
Manufacturing in the United States allows us to maintain strict quality standards, invest in our workforce, improve communication throughout the production process, and provide dependable support to our dealer partners across North America.
We’re proud to support American jobs while delivering products that homeowners can trust for years to come. It’s a commitment we’ve honored for 80 years and one we’ll continue to uphold well into the future.
Family-Owned Values That Continue Today
In an industry where many manufacturers have been acquired by large corporations, Craft-Bilt has remained proudly family-owned and operated for 80 years. That independence allows us to make decisions based on what’s best for our customers, employees, and dealer partners, and not quarterly earnings.
Being family-owned has shaped our culture since day one. We believe in doing business the right way, investing in our people, standing behind our products, and building relationships that last for decades. Many of our employees have spent much of their careers at Craft-Bilt, and many of our dealer partners have trusted our products for generations.
Those long-term relationships are something we’re incredibly proud of. They reflect the trust we’ve earned through consistent quality, dependable service, and a genuine commitment to helping our partners succeed.
As we continue growing, our family values remain the foundation of every product we manufacture and every partnership we build.
Building Success Together with Our Dealer Network
One of the greatest accomplishments over the past 80 years has been the incredible network of dealer partners who represent Craft-Bilt.
Our authorized dealers are more than customers. They’re trusted partners who bring our products to life in communities across the United States. Their expertise, professionalism, and commitment to customer satisfaction have helped thousands of homeowners transform the way they enjoy the outdoors.
To support their success, Craft-Bilt continues to invest in dealer education, product training, marketing resources, digital tools, and ongoing sales support. We believe our success is directly connected to the success of our partners, and we remain committed to helping them grow their businesses for years to come.
Looking Toward the Future
While celebrating 80 years is an incredible milestone, we’re even more excited about what’s ahead.
The demand for thoughtfully designed outdoor living spaces continues to grow as homeowners seek comfortable, functional environments that extend the enjoyment of their homes. Craft-Bilt is committed to leading that evolution through continued investment in advanced manufacturing technology, innovative product development, and solutions that meet the changing needs of today’s homeowners and contractors.
As we look toward the future, we’ll continue focusing on what has brought us here: exceptional craftsmanship, dependable products, trusted partnerships, family values, and a steadfast commitment to manufacturing in the United States.
