The Earthwise Difference

We're not just another window manufacturer. We build windows in Kansas City, we built the software that runs our plant, and we build opportunities for the people who make them.

Six Reasons

Why dealers, builders and homeowners choose Earthwise

Most window companies sell the same things: efficiency, quality, a warranty and a price. Those matter, and we deliver them. Here is what else you get.

1. National Strength. Local Manufacturing.

Earthwise of Kansas City is part of the Earthwise Group, one of the largest independent window manufacturing alliances in North America. You get the resources of a national network, built and backed by a Kansas City operation. See how we build.

2. Product Innovation.

We were an early regional manufacturer to bring black extruded vinyl windows to the Kansas City market: black all the way through the vinyl, on both the Artisan 143 and the Eco-View 330. Compare our windows.

3. Technology Leadership.

We didn't just buy new manufacturing software. We developed our own AI-powered ERP platform, Extrusia, built on our own factory floor, and brought it to market for other window manufacturers.

4. Easier Dealer Experience.

With Dealer Connect, our dealers quote and order windows from their phones, at their own pricing, and follow every order through the plant. Our window manufacturer is open even when our office isn't.

5. Investing in People.

We believe a person's past shouldn't automatically determine their future. That's why second-chance employment is part of our hiring philosophy, and why we create local manufacturing opportunities in Kansas City. Work with us.

6. Continuous Improvement.

Since implementing Extrusia, our plant has averaged a 20% increase in weekly window production. Same factory, same people, smarter processes, and we measure it every week.

Technology

We didn't just upgrade our software. We built our own.

Most manufacturers buy their ERP system. We built ours, around the way a window plant actually works: your order, the cut list, the saw, the welder, the glass, assembly, quality check and the truck, connected from start to finish. Technology built on the factory floor, not in a boardroom.

  • Every window tracked — each one carries its own barcode, scanned at every station
  • Less paperwork, more windows — cut lists, glass orders and labels come straight from your order
  • AI that works on the floor — used in real manufacturing operations, every day

People & Community

We believe in second chances. And first-class windows.

Great windows start with people who care. Our windows are built in Kansas City by people who call it home, and some of them came to us looking for a fresh start. At Earthwise, we don't just build windows. We build opportunities.
