For 80 years Bayonne, New Jersey has been the home of Ideal Window Manufacturing, Inc. What began as a one-man storefront operation has become a major force in the window industry. Irving Rogow founded Ideal Venetian Blind in 1924. He sold venetian blinds by day and manufactured them at night. Within a few years, he moved his company to a larger location and by the mid 1930's he employed over 100 people. In 1942, Mr. Rogow patented an innovated venetian blind bracket that is still in use today. Gold Bond Inc. was established after World War II for the express purpose of wholesaling venetian blind supplies. In 1952 Gold Bond began manufacturing storm windows and doors. Due to its huge success in the sale of these products, the company changed its name to Ideal Aluminum Products. Ideal Window Manufacturing has been recognized by the window industry: 1992-Crystal Achievement award for Dryer Vent Window1993-Crystal Achievement Award for "Windows-on-Wheels" marketing tool1993-Gold Achievement Award for Pure Magic Glazing SystemVoted one of the top 100 window fabricators from 1997 to 2003 by the Window and Door Manufacturers Association. (WDMA)In the mid 1950's Ideal entered the aluminum awning market and by 1957 discontinued the venetian blind business. In 1972, 315,000 storm windows and doors were produced. Also in 1972, Ideal entered the aluminum replacement window business. Nine years later, Rogow Window Manufacturing Company was established and vinyl windows were manufactured on a limited basis until 1983. In 1983 full-scale manufacturing of vinyl windows began at a new facility on Kennedy Boulevard. Today Ideal employs over 300 people and continues to operate out of four Bayonne, New Jersey locations. We have been and will continue to be a leader in design, manufacturing and marketing of replacement and new construction windows. We are proud of the fact that we are selling windows to the children and grandchildren of our original customers. It is not our goal to be the biggest window manufacturer but to be the best at what we do. Ideal works with their customers and develops products and options that the dealers can use to improve their business and increase their profit margins. It is Ideal's belief that we cannot grow and prosper without ensuring that our customers do the same. It is Ideal's goal to continue as a leader in the window industry for another 75 years.
