Investment Bank Launches Survey for Year-End 2007

Jordan, Knauff & Co., a Chicago-based investment bank with a specialized practice in the window and door industry, has announced the launch of the Window & Door Industry Benchmark Survey for year-end 2007. The results of the survey should be a valuable resource for all participating companies, according to a release from the bank. Only companies that submit surveys will receive the full results of the survey and all information received in conjunction with the survey will be held in the strictest confidence.

The areas to be covered in the survey include the following: financial performance, product mix, offshore sourcing, productivity, human resources, sales, marketing, operations, distribution systems and acquisitions. Jordan, Knauff & Co. is not aware of another survey being conducted in the industry that addresses all of these areas. The window and door executives that invest the time needed to complete this survey will receive, at no cost, a valuable tool for comparing their own companies with their competing peer group. Such a tool is not currently available in the market at any price.

Companies wishing to take part in the survey should contact Michael Collins of Jordan, Knauff & Co. at 312/254-5904 or mcollins@jordanknauff.com. The deadline for submitting completed surveys is April 13, 2008, and the firm anticipates publishing the results of the survey in early June.
