MITRE Brands expands production in Flower Mound to enhance local manufacturing capacity

In a recent meeting of the Flower Mound Town Council, local business MITRE Brands highlighted its commitment to community engagement and economic growth. The company, a key player in the residential door and window industry, has made significant strides in philanthropy and job creation, which directly benefit residents.

MITRE Brands reported an increase in volunteer hours from 1,300 to 2,108 over the past year, with a goal of reaching 3,000 hours. Their philanthropic efforts include partnerships with organizations like the Ronald McDonald House and support for cancer initiatives. This commitment to giving back underscores the company's dedication to the well-being of the community.

The council was informed that MITRE Brands has created 600 full-time jobs in Flower Mound, surpassing its initial goal of 500. The company has also invested over $18 million in the area, showcasing its strong ties to the community. Plans for expansion include introducing new product lines, such as patio doors and windows, which are currently manufactured outside Texas. This move aims to enhance local production and reduce shipping costs, ultimately benefiting the Texas market.

Council members expressed their support for MITRE Brands' initiatives, emphasizing the importance of retaining existing businesses while attracting new ones. The discussions also touched on potential state grants that could further support the company's expansion efforts.

As MITRE Brands continues to grow and invest in Flower Mound, its actions reflect a broader commitment to fostering a vibrant local economy and enhancing community well-being. The council's ongoing support for such initiatives highlights the importance of collaboration between local government and businesses in achieving shared goals for the community's future.
