Historyedit
In 1906, Francis Plym, Kawneer's architect founder, invented the first metal molding for storefronts.[citation needed] Kawneer began as a sheet metal shop in Kansas City, Missouri and was awarded its first patent in 1906. The first Kawneer plant in Niles, Michigan opened in 1907.
During the 1920s, Kawneer became the first manufacturer to use aluminum in architectural products.[citation needed] By 1937, Kawneer was doing about 75 percent of its store front business in aluminum and was the largest American user of aluminum for architectural purposes.[citation needed] During the war years, Kawneer dedicated its resources to produce war materials including aircraft parts and made no store fronts from 1942 to 1945.[citation needed]
Kawneer was owned by Alumax, and subsequently became a subsidiary of Alcoa when Alcoa acquired Alumax in 1998.[1]
