Raising standards, expanding views

Pella Corporation was founded in 1925 as the Rolscreen Company. Initially, the company was most widely known for its “disappearing” Rolscreen®  window screen. Updated in its design and still popular today, the patented Rolscreen insect screen rolls out of sight when not in use.Pella patio doors and storm doors also feature Rolscreen technology.

In 1992, the company changed its name to Pella Corporation, to better reflect its entire product offering. Today the Pella® family of brands offers a full range of quality residential and commercial products in a variety of types and styles to meet virtually any design or budget. Headquartered in Pella, Iowa, the company provides careers for about 9,800 team members.
