The new name represents the Company’s unified commitment to business transformation that will drive future growth and effectively serve customers and communities across North America. The term Cornerstone, which is the foundation upon which something

Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer. “Through continued operational excellence and innovation, Cornerstone Building Brands is creating industry solutions that will become the cornerstone of countless communities. Our all-encompassing
transformation will drive sales, efficiencies, customer satisfaction and enhance employee and community support.”
Offering a comprehensive product portfolio that will continue to go to market through their existing brand names, Cornerstone Building Brands is a trusted leader in windows, vinyl siding, insulated metal panels, metal roofing and wall systems and metal
accessories, serving as a one-stop shop for customers. With its manufacturing facilities strategically located across North America, Cornerstone Building Brands brings a commitment to advanced manufacturing, innovation and research and development.
The Company is also dedicated to implementing and executing several community-focused programs including the Home for Good project, a campaign that will continue to serve as a key corporate initiative and has helped build and remodel more than 500 homes
in 90 communities across the U.S. since 2016. Furthermore, the Company offers help to its workforce through an employee assistance program that supports those who are facing financial hardship following natural disasters or unforeseen personal hardship.
“The combined strength and balance of our residential and commercial sectors uniquely positions us to lead the market,” added Metcalf. “We are dedicated to delivering an unmatched portfolio of products and look forward to the positive
impact Cornerstone Building Brands will have not only on our customers but also in the fabric of the communities we call home.”
