Marvin is an American window and door manufacturer headquartered in Warroad, Minnesota, with more than 6,000 employees across 16 cities throughout North America. Marvin has been family-run since its inception in 1912.

History
George Marvin founded the Marvin Lumber and Cedar Company based in Warroad, Minnesota in 1912. In 1939, George's son William S. “Bill” Marvin joined the company and invested in woodworking machinery and shifted the company's focus to building residential windows and doors. Bill became company president in 1960 and expanded it nationwide. In 1968, he renamed the company to Marvin Windows and Doors.

Paul Marvin, part of the fourth generation of family members to work at Marvin, became CEO in August 2017.

In 2019, Marvin Windows and Doors streamlined its company name simply to 'Marvin' and introduced a new logo replacing the familiar yellow rose it has used since 1968 with a simpler, modern modern rose.

Marvin and Profit Sharing
Marvin has shared profits with employees since 1957, and in December 2020 it announced a profit share of $15.3 million.

While the company cut workers' hours and benefits during the Great Recession of 2007-2009, when there was a drastic downturn in homebuilding in North America, it avoided layoffs. It did so again in the initial downturn in manufacturing during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. Marvin's no-layoff policy led President Barack Obama to praise the company in a 2011 speech. Obama referenced the company's commitment to its workers quoting Susan Marvin, company president: "You can’t grow if you’re cutting your lifeblood — and that’s the skills and experience your work force delivers." .

Products
Marvin manufactures a wide range of products from Windows and Doors to Spaces - including the Marvin Skycove. In 2019, Marvin streamlined its products into three new collections and renamed the Integrity Windows and Doors brand.
