The Minneapolis Star Tribune has compiled a list of 10 business newsmakers to watch in 2012, and Susan Marvin, president of Marvin Windows and Doors, is in great company on that list. The list also includes Narayana Kocherlakota, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis; Omar Ishrak, CEO of Medtronic; and William Cooper, chairman and CEO of TCF Financial Corp.
The Star Tribune writes, “Industry groups have forecast only modest recovery in window and door sales this year. Marvin has kept its financial house in order, which has helped it survive the downturn and positioned it to benefit when the housing market revives.”
If 2012 is anything like 2011 — a year that saw the company covered by an in-depth feature story from the New York Times and discussed in a major speech from President Obama — it’s sure to be another great year for Marvin Windows and Doors.

My hat is off to the leadership of Susan Marvin. At Havenrei.com we make every attempt to follow the best industry standards. We were recently presented as Best of Atlanta by the U.S. Commerce Association for General Contractors and we plan to make it our business focus to work with leaders like Marvin who display award winning business practices.
Marvin exemplifies the direction our company intends to take during the 2012 year as the construction industry and housing market revives itself.
Sincerely,
James Glisson, President
