Cross through a window and enter another world.

That’s exactly what happened to several Allen County officials and members of Thrive Allen County on Thursday, as they were given a tour of Peerless Products’ new facility in Iola.

Peerless manufactures high-performance aluminum architectural and commercial windows for new, replacement and historical construction.

The Iola plant has been up and running since October, and now employs more than 30 people.

Follow along and let’s take a walk inside together.

Plant manager Josh Granere led Thursday’s tour, which began in Peerless’ conference room that features new flooring and fancy ergonomic desks.
