Residential and commercial garage door manufacturer with integrated production operations
Raynor manufactures residential and commercial garage doors and operators from a legacy ERP foundation (SAP, JD Edwards, AS/400) paired with industrial automation tooling (Rockwell PLCs, Maximo). The hiring mix is heavily weighted toward manufacturing and ops roles, and active projects cluster around facility upgrades, lean initiatives, and inventory reduction—indicating a manufacturer optimizing production efficiency and supply-chain cost rather than pursuing digital transformation or new market entry.
Raynor has manufactured garage doors since 1944, serving both residential homeowners and commercial building segments with sectional doors, rolling doors, and powered operators. The company operates from Dixon, Illinois, with 501–1,000 employees focused on production, logistics, and field support. Current operational priorities include upgrading manufacturing facilities, implementing lean manufacturing practices, reducing scrap and rework, and managing vendor and distribution costs—typical of a mature industrial business focused on operational margin and capacity utilization.
Raynor relies on SAP and JD Edwards for enterprise operations, Maximo for maintenance management, and Rockwell industrial automation (ControlLogix, CompactLogix PLCs, FactoryTalk View SE) for production control. CAD/CAM work uses AutoCAD Electrical.
Raynor is focused on facility upgrades, lean manufacturing initiatives, new product introductions, inventory reduction, and manufacturing performance dashboards. Cost reduction through automation and improving production efficiency are stated priorities.
