Phōs Window in Fort Payne has announced a major expansion to enhance its vinyl window production.

The company will undergo a $21 million expansion which is expected to bring more than 100 new jobs to DeKalb County, according to the Alabama Department of Commerce.

Once the investment is complete, the facility will expand to nearly 140,000 square feet and will employ up to 200 workers.

“This investment reinforces DeKalb County as the proven place for business. Companies like Phōs Window continue to choose this region for our tri-state location, skilled workforce, and transportation advantages.”
Brett Johnson, Executive Director of the DeKalb County Economic Development Authority

The Fort Payne City Council approved incentives Tuesday to support the project, which will more than triple the size of the company’s facility near the I-59 corridor.

Company leaders cited DeKalb County’s “skilled labor pool and strategic tri-state location” as factors in choosing to expand locally rather than relocate production

“Phōs Window’s decision to expand in Fort Payne demonstrates the competitive advantages Alabama’s manufacturing workforce brings to the table. Our workers possess the technical expertise and adaptability that modern manufacturers require. This project reflects both the innovative capacity of Alabama’s construction products sector and the skilled workforce that makes these advanced manufacturing operations possible.”
Ellen McNair, Alabama Secretary of Commerce

Construction is expected to begin soon, with hiring to follow in phases as production capacity comes online.

The project positions Fort Payne to capture a larger share of the regional building products market while providing career opportunities for skilled manufacturing workers across Northeast Alabama.
