Marvin

Inspiring the next generation for a career in manufacturing is one thing Brian Mayfield and his team do that has a sizable impact on shaping our future. Our gratitude for their invaluable contributions to the local community. 💛

Marvin and Costco Wholesale have remarkably similar values and cultures: we both prioritize high-quality experiences for our customers and members, we build trusting partnerships, we plan for decades (not quarters), and our team members come first. Infinity from Marvin is proud to be featured in more than 200 Costco warehouses nationwide, and we were especially flattered to have been included in the grand opening celebration for Costco’s newest location in Weatherford, Texas. Thanks to CEO Ron Vachris, the Home and Installation Services team, and the local warehouse team members for the warm welcome – we look forward to many years of partnership ahead.

Plus, floor-to-ceiling Marvin windows from our partners at Signature Windows + Doors capture the overlook to a stunning preserve. Explore more of this unique A-frame home: https://lnkd.in/ge_dZ6k9

CEO Paul Marvin recently sat down with Forbes' Dr. Ethan Karp to discuss family business longevity from the particularly unique perspective of a fifth-generation manufacturer. “As the family tree became bigger ... you’ve got people that aren’t growing up at the same kitchen table,” Paul says. “We needed a forum to have those conversations and curate the culture of the family, what our goals and aspirations are.” See more on our culture and values over at Forbes: https://lnkd.in/e77sVnpf

Many of our favorite partners and pros were in Las Vegas this week, and I’m really glad we had the chance to connect in person, as their insights on the market, what’s trending and opportunities for growth are unmatched. Thanks to all who joined Marvin for a bit of camaraderie and celebration. It’s because of you that we continue to succeed together. 💛   An extra special nod to Steve Persigehl and Window Innovations' 25 years of partnership with Marvin.

It was a brisk kickoff for the first inaugural Marvin Frozen Showdown. Two rival schools, North Dakota State University and the University of Minnesota Duluth, competed for sales glory at our Warroad headquarters. During their visit, students immersed themselves in Marvin's rich history and innovative products. They toured our state-of-the-art facilities, engaged in hands-on learning experiences prior to the competition, and delivered a well-researched sales pitch to an expert crowd: Judges Chris Stith, Valerie Johnson, and Jason Carmichael recognized the showdown's top three student pitches with scholarships to fuel their ongoing education.   The competition helped to provide students a real-world opportunity to turn their education into practice. Channel Sales Director Jason Carmichael praised the students' professionalism and dedication. For those keeping score, both schools showcased exceptional effort and sportsmanship.   Top finishers in the sales competition category: 🥇 Breanna Storlie, UMD 🥈 Leah Blomquist, UMD 🥉 Linnea Axtman, NDSU Top finishers in the speed interview challenge: 🥇 Hunter Einertson, NDSU 🥈 Amanda Waletski, NDSU 🥉 Trace Wagner, NDSU Congratulations to all participants and a special nod to the top finishers. Marvin is honored to host such events that not only foster learning but also strengthen our ties with educational institutions and communities. 💛
