Eldon Quaker plant to expand, doubling manufacturing space
Lake Sun Leader
During a visit to Eldon at the beginning of May, Governor Parson helped Quaker Windows leadership announce the site’s first building expansion. The groundwork for the expansion has already begun, with leveling efforts underway. Only a year into their operations at the lake, the announcement is a sign that the manufacturing power of Quaker is here to stay for the long run.
Quaker Windows Chief Marketing Officer Bill Sifflard says that the new building will sit right next to the existing plant and will add on another 250,000 square feet of commercial manufacturing capacity. A brand new set of manufacturing lines will be installed and the output by the site will hopefully double as a result.

Over $19K was raised on Saturday, May 8 at the 4th Annual Treasure Island Casino Benefit for Wonderland Camp hosted by Jolly Rogers Grub & Grog and chaired by Christina Hunter of The Hunter Group. Jolly Rogers is very community focused and specifically works to support Wonderland Camp in Rocky Mount. This would have been the 5th Annual event, however, COVID made it impossible last year.
Over 100 people bought tickets to this annual event and enjoyed a beautiful day of casino games, premium appetizers, drinks and raffle winnings. The 11 blackjack, 2 craps and 2 roulette tables (Jacks and Aces Events – KC) were full and busy during the event.
May marks the one-year anniversary of Quaker Windows and Doors opening of their Eldon, Missouri, manufacturing facility and offices. The manufacturing plant and office build-out in Eldon were phases 1 and 2 of Quaker’s multi-phase Eldon expansion plan for the 130-acre campus.
