Powering long-term growth for Eldon and central Missouri

Quaker Windows & Doors' Eldon expansion brings new jobs and investment to central Missouri

Quaker Windows & Doors recently announced another expansion of its Eldon campus, adding 300,000 square feet to its facilities and creating approximately 100 new jobs. This newest phase builds on Quaker Windows & Doors' long-standing commitment to Missouri and follows earlier investments of more than $30 million that significantly expanded manufacturing capacity and supported hundreds of new, high-quality jobs.

Those efforts have been driven by close collaboration among Ameren Missouri, the City of Eldon and the Missouri Department of Economic Development, demonstrating what's possible when public and private partners work together. Quaker Windows & Doors was one of the first to take advantage of economic development incentives in Ameren Missouri's Smart Energy Plan. Additionally, Ameren Missouri supported the expansion efforts by upgrading local infrastructure, benefiting the greater Eldon community with more reliable energy delivery.

"Ameren Missouri believes strong communities are built through partnership, and our work with Quaker Windows & Doors here reflects that belief," said Tom Graff, manager of Economic Development for Ameren Missouri. "We appreciate the leadership, collaboration and shared vision that continue to drive economic growth in this community. It's an honor to be recognized, and we look forward to what the future holds for Eldon."

This partnership was recently recognized on a national stage when Quaker Windows & Doors received a Community Impact (CiCi) Award from Trade & Industry Development magazine. The award honors economic development projects that deliver meaningful investments and have a lasting impact on their communities.

This latest investment marks the company's third expansion in Eldon since opening its campus in 2020. As Quaker Windows & Doors continues to expand its operations and workforce, Ameren Missouri remains committed to providing the reliable energy needed to support businesses in their efforts to grow throughout their service territory.
