INDIANA, PA, November 12, 2009—Gorell Windows & Doors announced today that October, 2009, was the best sales month in the company’s 15-year history. Gorell also reported that the three-month period from August to October was up 25 percent over the same time period in 2008. Gorell does not publicly divulge actual sales figures.

President and CEO Wayne Gorell attributed the sales record and growth to a number of factors. These include improvement in the U.S. economy, the federal tax credit program, pent-up demand for replacement windows and doors and strategic moves by Gorell that have allowed the manufacturer to acquire a significant number of new dealers to market and sell its products.

“Despite the economic downturn in this country that lasted through part of the summer, we have been fortunate in achieving record increases in new business acquisition,” said Gorell. “In fact, sales volume from new accounts that joined Gorell this year is already 75 percent higher than sales volume from new accounts in 2008, which itself was a record year for new accounts. Both the sales month record and the 2009 new account record are significant achievements for our organization.”

Gorell also attributed the gains to the company’s decisions to expand its product offerings and to introduce additional energy-saving glass systems for its windows and doors. Gorell is a perennial national ENERGY STAR® Partner of the Year award winner, and it won its fourth Sustained Excellence award from the Department of Energy and EPA earlier in 2009. Gorell also is one of a few window manufacturers whose products have been certified by Green Seal™.
