Company Overview

Quanex Building Products Corporation (NYSE: NX) is a manufacturer of components and systems used in the production of energy-efficient windows, doors, cabinets and other building products. The company primarily serves original equipment manufacturers and fabricators rather than selling finished construction products directly to consumers.

Its product portfolio includes insulating glass components, spacer systems, window and door profiles, screens, fenestration hardware, weather-sealing products, cabinet doors and drawer fronts. Quanex also provides related engineered components and solutions designed to improve the performance, durability and appearance of residential and commercial building products.

Quanex has a long history in the building-products industry and serves customers through manufacturing and distribution operations in North America, Europe and other international markets. In 2024, the company expanded its product portfolio and geographic reach through the acquisition of Tyman plc, a supplier of components for the fenestration, building products and home improvement markets. Quanex is headquartered in Houston, Texas, and is led by President and Chief Executive Officer George Wilson.
