Opening New Opportunities, Paramount™ Enters Custom and Luxury Market

Paramount Windows™ has seized new opportunities in the custom and luxury home market. A manufacturer and distributor of aluminum window and sliding door products, the Tempe-based company introduced its Custom and Luxury Home Division in 2001 by offering premium aluminum-clad wood and high-end aluminum windows. Already, this division comprises 20% of Paramount's sales and is on the rise. The remaining portion of the business forms the company's firm foundation in the tract and semi-custom markets.

Manufacturer and Distributor

The Paramount™ team manufactures many products under the Paramount™ name. The company also distributes vinyl windows and doors, high-end aluminum windows and doors, acrylic block, glass block and skylights from a number of quality manufacturers including Windsor, Builder's Accessories, Western Window Systems and Velux.

"Our experience in the window business and, specifically, the Greater Phoenix marketplace, has taught us which manufacturers offer the best products and share our vision of quality and service," (Chet) Willis (Vice President of Sales and Marketing) said. "Homebuilding companies have specific needs, and because we have the unique capacity to serve all market segments, they appreciate the convenience and economy of a single-source supplier who can offer complete turnkey service including installation by some of the finest installers in the Valley."

Paramount's™ Custom and Luxury Division has earned a reputation for what Paramount™ calls "Right First, Fast Second": Deliver the product correctly, deliver it when promised, and don't compromise quality for speed.

Quality Products, Efficient Service, On-Time Delivery

For the high-end customer or the tract builder, Paramount™ knows that service and relationships make the difference between a customer who is satisfied and one who is not. "Builders' needs are simple," Willis said. "They want quality products, efficient service, on-time complete deliveries and a fair price. The want what Paramount™ has always believed: 'Honesty and Integrity above all.' But, at the time Paramount was conceived, no one window vendor had all of these attributes."

Paramount™ is also keen to changes in the industry and the economy. "Because we are a privately held company, we are very nimble and can react very quickly to changes in the marketplace," Willis noted. "We don't have to navigate the corporate jungle to get things done."

In fact, Paramount™ recently invested more than $2 million adding new equipment and technology. "The window industry for many years was relatively low-tech," Willis explained, "but now we have seen many advances in manufacturing equipment, information technologies, high-performance glazing options, and energy-efficient product offerings."

For instance, an automated glass-optimization system has reduced labor and costs and created manufacturing efficiencies, and a fully automated insulated glass line has doubled the company's capacity to produce insulating glass panels - also generating operating efficiencies and reducing costs. "Paramount is poised for high volume - with a high emphasis on quality," Willis said. "Even though we are one of the largest window companies in the Southwest, we still manage to keep that small-company feel through very personalized service."
