About EFCO Corporation
EFCO Corporation is a Monett, Missouri manufacturer of commercial aluminum windows, curtain wall systems, storefront framing, entrance systems, and sun control products for nonresidential construction. Founded in 1953 and acquired by Pella Corporation in 2016, EFCO continues to operate as a distinct commercial brand under the Pella umbrella, maintaining its Missouri manufacturing operations and commercial-market product line independently from Pella's residential window and door business.
EFCO's commercial product catalog covers thermally broken and non-thermally broken aluminum curtain wall systems (Series 5700 and 6700), storefront framing (Series 2000 and 4000), commercial window systems for punched opening applications (Series 9000), and entrance door systems (Series 3800 and 4500). A notable EFCO specialty is its sun control product line — architectural fins, brise-soleil louvers, and shading components that coordinate with the company's curtain wall and window systems, providing passive solar control elements that address energy code and thermal comfort requirements on highly glazed facades.
For glazing subcontractors and commercial architects in the Midwest, South, and Southeast, EFCO is a primary domestic alternative to Kawneer and YKK AP in the commercial curtain wall and storefront categories. The company's Monett, Missouri manufacturing base and Pella's distribution infrastructure support reliable lead times competitive with larger commercial aluminum manufacturers. Specifiers should engage EFCO's commercial sales team early on projects where sun control fins or shading integration are part of the facade design, as the coordination between framing system and sun control elements benefits from manufacturer design-assist.
