Mansfield scores 500-job advanced manufacturing facility, regional headquarters

One of North Texas’ fastest-growing communities will add more than 500 jobs as a company with a national footprint establishes an advanced manufacturing facility.

Crystal Window and Door Systems TX, LTD., a subsidiary of Crystal Window and Door Systems, LTD., will also establish a regional corporate headquarters with its move into Mansfield.

Crystal makes energy-efficient vinyl and aluminum windows, along with high-end fenestration systems.

The company, with its parent organization based in Flushing, N.Y., will create 504 new jobs as spends over $121 million in the city. It has an existing sales office and showroom on Mockingbird Lane in Dallas.

Crystal has been tapped for a $3.15 million Texas Enterprise Fund grant, in addition to a $15,000 Veteran Created Job bonus.

“‘Made in Texas’ is a powerful global brand, and I congratulate Crystal Window and Door Systems on this significant investment in our great state,” said Texas Gov. Greg Abbott in a statement.

The company was founded in New York City in 1990 by Thomas Chen and has since grown to five manufacturing facilities across the country.

“They say, ‘When God closes a door, he opens a window,’ but I believe this partnership is a wide open door and window for Mansfield and the state of Texas,” Mansfield Mayor Michael Evans said. “This is economic development in action, and it would not be possible without the hard work of city and state staff showing why Mansfield and Texas are where businesses want to be.”

The city of Mansfield and its economic development arm previously approved an agreement with Crystal to incentivize the company’s entrance that includes tax breaks.

Crystal also purchased a portion of the site of its future facility from Mansfield, which is now in a tax reinvestment zone. Its facility is expected to span hundreds of thousands of square feet on land west of U.S. 287, east of Justice Lane and north of Tarrant County Corrections facility.
