A Champion
    is born...

Over fifty years ago, two brothers, Nat and Tom Arcati, entered into a new venture.  They wanted to manufacture a quality storm window and door.  With only a high school education, they worked long hours and traveled extensively to get their project off the ground.  Their project started off small, beginning only inside a garage in Brooklyn, NY.  At the time, they were thinking about the next week or month, but in actuality they were planning for their families’ future.  The founders were honest, hard-working men who learned how to successfully deal with many people, research new products, be loyal to employees and customers, and expand when necessary.  Their decisions were always carefully weighed and thoroughly evaluated.

After a few expansions and location changes, Champion Windows moved to its current location in Syosset, NY in 1968.  The move was in response to a largely growing business and consumer base.  This building was the headquarters for their manufacturing of storm windows and doors until upgrading to replacement windows with the sole production of the 2500 double hung tilt window in 1983.  The year 1984 marked the time for Champion to expand its current facility to make room for the large increase in sales and success of their 2500 window.  The factory expanded from 30,000 sq. ft. to 50,000 sq. ft.  This performed well with the addition of many new windows such as the 1000 sideload and the Legend 9000 to the Champion production line.  This ultimately required additional factory space for increased efficiency.  Their next expansion came in 1997 when the company purchased its neighboring building to expand its facility to 80,000 sq. ft.  Once again, expansion was due to the need for increased space for production.

Throughout all the years, the company’s success has been a result of devotion to teamwork and utilizing market trends to expand and create new ideas.  Champion has continued to grow because of its quality, service, values and integrity.  These are the very principles, which are the cornerstone of its philosophy.  Present day, there are over 10 million Champion windows in the eastern United States.  Today, as we expand our business greater each day and touch upon new horizons, we like to think that each window and door that we manufacture lives up to the standards of integrity and quality set forth by Nat and Tom.  These fine men are missed, but never forgotten
