Pella Corporation Featured in NewsNation Documentary on American Manufacturing
The Documentary Includes Pella's Century-Long Legacy and How the Company is Investing in People, Innovation and Technology to Shape What Comes Next
More than a century of American manufacturing at Pella Corporation is taking the national stage in NewsNation Films’ new documentary, American Made, which premiered Sept. 7 and explores companies built in the United States and their role in the future of manufacturing.
The documentary takes viewers inside Pella's more than 100-year evolution, from founder Pete Kuyper's vision to create jobs in the small Iowa community of Pella to a Family of Brands with more than 10,000 team members and 20 manufacturing locations today.
“Being part of American Made is an opportunity to recognize the generations of team members whose care, ingenuity and pride have made Pella what it is today,” said Emily Videtto, president and CEO of Pella Corporation. “We’re proud to share our story on a national stage and to show how our teams are continuing to imagine what’s possible for customers and for American manufacturing.”
Pella’s feature within American Made explores:
- A legacy built on purpose: Pella’s people-focused culture rooted in integrity, courageous care and a commitment to improving the homes and lives of others.
- A culture of innovation that never stands still: How Pella’s team members are empowered to solve real customer problems, act on insights and continuously improve products and processes.
- Going beyond in design, quality and performance: From thoughtful design to testing beyond standard requirements, Pella goes further to deliver the quality, performance and peace of mind customers expect.
- A bold vision for the future: Pella continues to invest in its people and operations, embracing change and moving quickly to meet the needs of the next generation.
Throughout its history, Pella has continued to learn, adapt and embrace new ways of thinking to meet evolving customer needs. That mindset has allowed the company to grow across generations while staying grounded in its purpose to make life brighter for people.
