"We are committed to the communities in which we serve and operate out of. The North Venice campus will remain as one of our three operational support centers"
As MITER Brands takes over one Sarasota County’s most prominent manufacturers, company leadership will shift to Pennsylvania. No current leaders of PGT Innovations are set to join the board and MITER Brands is acquiring the North Venice-based window and door manufacturer outright.
But MITER Brands Digital Marketing Manager Nick Board said the company will be involved in the community in this region.
“We are committed to the communities in which we serve and operate out of. The North Venice campus will remain as one of our three operational support centers,” he said. “Bringing the PGTI family of brands gives us a true national footprint. Our team in North Venice is critical to our success is in the Southeast part of the country.”
PGT is best known as a top producer of hurricane-resistant custom windows and glass doors. The Sarasota County-based company and has a glass plant in North Venice and manufacturing plants there and Fort Myers. The company in 2014 also acquired CGI Windows and Doors in Hialeah. In 2021, PGT purchased a controlling stake in Eco Window Systems, including Tampa-based Eze-Breeze.
Amid acquisition talks, the publicly traded PGT saw its stock rise soar in December above the $40 per share price, and in January received an unsolicited purchase offer from MITER Brands. When the acquisition was announced last week, shares for PGT were priced at $41.99 per share, up about 83.7% from the prior year. KeyBanc Capital Markets announced shareholders in the acquisition will receive $42 per share. Analysts estimate the complete acquisition for the company cost at about $3.1 billion. The transaction was financed in part by an equity investment from an affiliate of Koch Equity Development, the principal investment and acquisition arm of Koch Industries.
That has left the question of what happens with the company locally.
Jeff Jackson, PGT’s president and CEO since 2018 and an executive at the company since 2005, will play no role at MITER Brands. PGT announced weeks ago that Jackson had been appointed to the board of Astec Industries, a manufacturer of specialized equipment for asphalt road building, aggregate processing and concrete production.
Board confirmed all executive leadership for the company will now operate out of MITER Brands’ corporate offices in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Some executives at PGT will likely retain positions, but none will immediately become part of the MITER Brands board.
But Board said the company won’t be a distant corporate entity. “We are an owner-operated company with ‘family first’ values, and our vision is to build most valued window and door brand in America,” Board said.
That echoed sentiments in a corporate press release when the acquisition was announced. “Our journey has always been about more than just windows and doors,” said Matt DeSoto, CEO of MITER Brands, in a statement. “It’s about reframing what is possible and creating unmatched value for our team members, customers, supply partners, and local communities. With PGT Innovations becoming part of our family of brands, we are excited to work together towards our vision of building the most valued window and door brand in America.”
No decision has been made about whether the company or any of its subsidies will be rebranded as MITER evaluates PGT’s existing business relationships. Board said much of the value in acquiring the PGTI family of companies is in the existing and profitable partnerships with other businesses in the Southeast U.S.
He also stressed the community work of the MITER Foundation, which was created in 2015. The nonprofit arm for the company has donated more than $15 million to charities since that time, with MITER employees logging 28,000 in community service hours. Board said community support has been one of the pillars for the foundation in deciding where to direct its resources.

It is with heavy hearts that Sarasota Jungle Gardens announces the passing of Dorothy Allyn-Lavick, President of Sarasota Jungle Gardens, at the age of 85. Dorothy passed away peacefully on February 22 surrounded by her family. Established in 1939, Sarasota Jungle Gardens has been a beacon of natural wonder, captivating residents and visitors alike for over eight decades. In 1971, Arthur C. Allyn acquired Sarasota Jungle Gardens, and with a passion for entomology shared by his daughter Dorothy, they created a place where people could experience the beauty of nature up close while fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation for wildlife. Under Dorothy’s watch, the attraction introduced birds, reptiles, and other members of the wild kingdom to the park, a decision that proved to be immensely popular. Dorothy remained actively involved in operating Sarasota Jungle Gardens for many years, ensuring that her family's legacy continued to thrive. Her son, Chris Lavick, and daughter-in-law, Nancy, took over day-to-day operations of the Jungle Gardens several years ago, while her daughters, Nicole Lavick-Kruzcek and Cheryl Lavick-Mandas, serve on the board. Dorothy was also on the board of Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, a zoo on a mountainside overlooking Colorado Springs. The family will continue to honor her memory by upholding the park's nostalgic Florida charm and commitment to providing educational and interactive experiences with animals and nature.Dorothy Allyn-Lavick’s legacy will forever be intertwined with the vibrant tapestry of Sarasota Jungle Gardens. Her passion, dedication, and love for wildlife will continue to inspire generations to come.

A new digital and personalized approach to spinal fusion surgery offers renewed hope to patients suffering from scoliosis and painful conditions caused by degeneration and deformities of the spine. Sarasota Memorial Hospital is the first hospital in the region to offer the aprevo® implant, an FDA-cleared patient-specific spine implant used to replace damaged or diseased vertebral discs in the lumbar area of the spine. Unlike traditional off-the-shelf implants made to stock sizes, the aprevo device is personalized to fit the unique, bony ridges of each patient’s spine. By addressing the pathology and matching the anatomy of each individual patient, aprevo® may reduce complications, improve outcomes and lower the cost of care. The key to this approach, according to Ashvin Patel, MD, an orthopedic surgeon and spinal implant specialist who brought the new technology to Sarasota Memorial, is the specialized imaging studies and 3D-printing technology that help the surgeon create a personalized surgical plan to replace a damaged disc with a patient-specific titanium implant designed to provide stability and optimizes alignment of the spine. The device is fused into place with a bone graft to allow adjacent vertebrae to grow into one long bone. While stock implants are available in different sizes, Dr. Patel explains that this new process is very different. "We are now equipped to address the most challenging spinal malformations with implants that are specifically created to address each patient's individual needs. This represents another advanced treatment option to help our patients significantly reduce their pain and get back to the activities they enjoy.” Manufactured by Carlsmed, Inc., the aprevo device is commercially available and covered by most insurance. Originally FDA-cleared approved to treat the lumber area of the spine, the device recently was granted a second “breakthrough device designation” by the FDA in September to develop implants for patients with cervical spine disease. While the device is already FDA-cleared, Sarasota Memorial is participating in the COMPASS™ Personalized Spine Surgery Study, a multi-center post market observational registry that will track outcomes for two years for eligible patients who wish to enroll in the study.
