Celebrating RJT Industries: A Half-Century Of Manufacturing Excellence
The Earthwise Group’s continued growth in 2025 is driven by more than expanding markets or increased demand. At its core, that momentum comes from long-standing partners who invest in innovation, people and manufacturing excellence. One of the strongest examples of that commitment is RJT Industries, operating as Earthwise Windows of Washington, D.C.
A Milestone Built On Family Ownership
In 2026, RJT Industries will celebrate 50 years as a family-owned window and door manufacturer. Reaching a half-century milestone reflects decades of consistency, craftsmanship and community commitment in an increasingly competitive manufacturing landscape.
As a founding member of the Earthwise Group, RJT Industries has helped define the quality and reliability standards Earthwise dealers and customers depend on.
Manufacturing Innovation That Drives Growth
RJT Industries’ longevity is supported by ongoing investments in advanced manufacturing infrastructure. A standout example is the custom-built Frame Processing Center, a multi-functional system that transforms how PVC window and patio door frames are produced.
By processing multiple profiles at once, the highly automated system dramatically cuts production time while improving accuracy and reducing waste. Cutting, drilling, and complete fabrication of all frame profiles has been consolidated into a single computerized process, resulting in consistent, high-quality products at a significantly faster pace.
Looking Ahead To The Next 50 Years
Rick Kennel, president of RJT Industries, sees continued investment as the key to long-term success:
“We understand that our business is successful only because of the investments we continue to make in our manufacturing infrastructure and our loyal workforce. As a result, our employees will continue to enjoy a clean, safe, and productive work environment, and our customers will continue to receive high-quality Earthwise window and door products, on time, and at a fair price. We’re looking forward to servicing our community for another 50 years!”
Supporting Regional Demand Across Virginia And The D.C. Region
The Washington, D.C., metro area serves as a hub for many of the surrounding Virginia markets, and RJT Industries is strategically positioned to support that regional demand.
As interest continues to grow for replacement windows in Woodbridge, VA, and beyond, RJT Industries stands alone as the most trusted window manufacturer that Washington D.C. depends on for consistent production and reliable lead times.
That same manufacturing strength extends south to support Earthwise dealers serving homeowners seeking vinyl windows in Richmond — helping to ensure high-quality windows and doors are delivered efficiently across the broader Mid-Atlantic region.
Strengthening The Earthwise Network
By combining decades of experience with modern production capabilities, RJT Industries plays a critical role in supporting the Earthwise Group's growth. This balance of legacy and innovation strengthens the Earthwise brand today while laying the groundwork for continued expansion in the years ahead.
