The Quanex Building Products 'Cambridge facility hosted Congressman Bill Johnson as part of its efforts to engage with lawmakers and support policies that are in the best interest of the window and door industry, as well as local communities. 

During his visit to the Cochran Avenue facility in East Cambridge, Johnson spent time learning about the company's role in the window and door industry and it’s advocacy efforts in Washington,D.C. In addition, he discussed the impact of the company's energy-saving products within the window and door industry, such as the window and door spacer system manufactured at the plant.

“Job creation through advances  in manufacturing is critically important to growing America's economy.

Companies like Quanex, in Cambridge, that manufacture energy-efficient products, are so important to bringing manufacturing jobs back to eastern and southeastern Ohio,” said Johnson. "Not only will these advanced manufacturing jobs help build a sustainable future ' by fulfilling the need for energy-efficient homes and commercial buildings, but they will also boost eastern Ohio's manufacturing base."

Johnson also received a plant tour where he had an opportunity to meet employees and engage with key personnel. Discussions included Quanex's role in advancing the energy efficiency of window and door products, as well as new innovations on the horizon from Cambridge and Quanex's other Quanex Building Products, facilities across the country.

Quanex has taken an active role in engaging lawmakers on issues and opportunities faced by the communities in which it operates and in the markets it serves.
