Pella Corporation Named to Fast Company’s Most Innovative Companies List for 2025

Pella Corporation has spent 100 years listening to customers, solving real challenges and redefining what’s possible—and today, that commitment has been recognized once again. Pella is proud to be named to Fast Company’s Most Innovative Companies list for 2025, marking the second time the company has received this prestigious recognition as the eighth most innovative company in manufacturing. 

This year, Fast Company recognized Pella’s newest innovation, Pella Steady Set™—the industry’s first interior window installation system. The revolutionary system allows installers to set and attach window units from the interior of the home, instead of the traditional exterior installation. Using Steady Set, builders reduce complexity, variability, risk, callbacks, wasted labor and lost time. The result is a dramatically faster, safer and easier-to-use install process that ensures consistency, efficiency and high-quality installation, every time.

“Steady Set reflects Pella’s commitment to deliver innovations that truly serve the customer by addressing a real need. Innovation at Pella isn’t about one big idea—it’s about a mindset, a culture, and a commitment to solving problems in new ways,” said Keith Mann, Chief Marketing Officer, Pella Corporation. 

Fast Company’s Most Innovative Companies list spotlights organizations that are transforming industries and driving meaningful change. For a century, Pella has been at the forefront of change in the window and door industry, introducing more than 150 patented innovations. Fast Company has recognized Pella for its culture of innovation naming the company among the Best Workplaces for Innovators in 2024 and 2022 and a Most Innovative Company in 2023. Additionally, Pella was recognized as a Most Innovative Design Company in 2022. 

“Every bold idea and every new solution has been rooted in understanding real customer needs and delivering products, services, and experiences that make a difference. To be recognized by Fast Company during our 100th year is such an honor and a wonderful recognition of our enduring commitment to innovation and finding a better way for our customers,” said Emily Videtto, President and Chief Operating Officer, Pella Corporation. 

As Pella looks ahead, it remains focused making investments that position it for long-term growth, including advancing its innovation pipeline, implementing cutting-edge technology, building a talent advantage—all in the name of serving the customer better than ever before.
