Awake Named to the 2026 Inc. 5000
Awake Window & Door Co. has been named to the 2026 Inc. 5000 — recognizing the fastest-growing private companies in America.
For Awake, the recognition represents more than rapid growth. It reflects what can happen when innovation, American manufacturing, strong partnerships, and a clear sense of purpose come together.
Built from the Ground Up
Since its founding in 2021, Awake has grown from a small team into an organization of more than 100 employees, serving luxury residential and commercial projects across North America. Over that same period, the company has continued to expand its product offerings, engineering capabilities, manufacturing capacity, and market reach.
Awake’s growth has been driven by a commitment to developing high-performance aluminum window and door systems that give architects, builders, dealers, and homeowners greater design freedom — from ultra-slim sightlines and large-format glazing to custom-engineered solutions — all without compromising performance or craftsmanship.
Mission & Workforce
More Than a Business Milestone
The Inc. 5000 recognition also highlights another important part of the Awake story: the company’s workforce and mission. From the beginning, Awake set out to create meaningful employment opportunities for people who are often overlooked in traditional hiring.
Today, more than 60% of the company’s workforce is justice-impacted — demonstrating that business growth and social impact do not have to exist separately.
That mission has become an important part of Awake’s culture and identity, proving that second-chance hiring can strengthen teams, create opportunity, and support a growing American manufacturing company.
Being named to the Inc. 5000 is an important milestone, but it is also a reflection of the people behind the company — the employees building the products, the partners who have trusted Awake, and the customers who continue to challenge us to think bigger.
As Awake continues to grow, the focus remains the same: build exceptional products, create meaningful opportunities, and continue pushing what is possible in the window and door industry.
