Andersen Corporation Welcomes Jeremy Behler as CFO

Andersen Corporation, renowned as America’s most trusted brand in windows and doors, has announced the appointment of Jeremy Behler as its Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. This strategic transition comes as current CFO Phil Donaldson prepares to retire after an impressive 25-year tenure with the company.

Jeremy Behler steps into this pivotal role following a successful career at Sargento Foods, a family-owned billion-dollar food enterprise, where he has held multiple positions related to strategy and finance over an 11-year period, culminating in his role as CFO. His extensive experience also includes 15 years at Procter & Gamble, where he honed his skills in finance, business management, and strategic operations.

Chris Galvin, the CEO of Andersen Corporation, expressed enthusiasm for Behler’s arrival, stating, “Jeremy is a dynamic business leader with a proven track record of driving innovative growth strategies, leading high-performing teams, and delivering exceptional results. We are thrilled to welcome Jeremy to Andersen at a time of exciting opportunity as we unlock additional growth and possibility across our industry-leading business portfolio.”

As CFO, Behler will oversee Andersen’s finance division, which comprises accounting, tax, treasury, and mergers and acquisitions, affirming his strategic importance within the company. He will also join the Andersen Corporation Executive Committee, collaborating closely with other leaders in the organization to pave the future path of the company.

The transition is also marked by gratitude towards Phil Donaldson, whose leadership and commitment during his time have significantly shaped Andersen’s success. Galvin highlighted Donaldson’s contributions, remarking, “We are incredibly grateful for Phil’s 25 years of service to Andersen, including 21 as chief financial officer. His deep commitment has ensured our success and laid a solid foundation for future generations.”

Behler’s commitment extends beyond the corporate sphere, demonstrating active involvement in community initiatives. He currently serves as a board member for several nonprofit organizations, including the Salvation Army of Sheboygan County and the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA).

Andersen Corporation values collaboration and community engagement, principles that are echoed in Behler's history of leadership. The company, founded in 1903, upholds the philosophy of delivering on promises to customers while empowering its over 13,000 employees to envision and realize their potential.

With multiple manufacturing sites across North America and Europe, Andersen Corporation has established a legacy of producing quality window and door products under the Andersen®, Renewal by Andersen®, EMCO®, and MQ™ brands. As it looks forward to further growth under Behler’s leadership, Andersen continues to affirm its commitment to excellence, innovation, and sustainability, recently earning the U.S. EPA’s 2024 ENERGY STAR® Partner of the Year Award for Sustained Excellence.

This leadership transition marks an exciting chapter for Andersen Corporation as it continues to articulate its vision and enhance its business portfolio while fostering an environment of growth and community responsibility.
