Windsor Industry
Location is the primary attraction for major corporations and small-to-medium size businesses in Windsor. With an economically strategic position between the state capitals of Denver and Cheyenne, Wyoming, Windsor is centrally located to major markets.
The town also has a major transportation advantage by being near Interstate 25, a major north-south route in Colorado. Close proximity to several other larger cities is also an economic boon for Windsor. Surrounded by the communities of Greeley (pop. 65,000), Loveland (pop. 45,000) and Fort Collins (pop. 110,000), Windsor is ensured of having a diverse consumer base and plentiful workforce necessary to support businesses located within the community.
Over a hundred years ago, the town’s major industry was sugar beets. Built by the original German immigrants, the first factory in Windsor was owned by the Great Western Sugar Co, which operated up until the late 1960s before closing its doors. Fortunately for Windsor, an agricultural based economy would eventually give way into one that reflects the town’s dynamic and contemporary trend of urbanization. Today, companies as diverse as Kodak, Front Range Energy, Owens-Illinois Bottle Company, Universal Forest Products, Metal Container Corporation, Robinson Brick Company and Packaging America have operations that are located in Windsor and employ nearly 3,000 people.
