Early History
The roots of the present company, Radco Exteriors, Inc. were formed in a business located in Santa Maria at the airport and owned by John MacGregor and Keith Adams, both happened to own Aerocoups!
Steady Growth
In 1979, the company moved to a new 33,000 square foot facility located close to the airport. Aluminite, a major national screen manufacturer, moved to Guadalupe (near Santa Maria) in order to supply Radco, which at the time was Aluminite’s biggest customer. In 1980 the company was a pioneer in dual glazed units using hand washed glass and handmade extrusions of insulation spacer material. The company had also established a major presence in aluminum door bottoms and thresholds in the Central Coast.
Throughout this whole period Radco prospered by concentrating its efforts on the local market from Santa Maria to Monterey. The company offered such superior products and service that homeowners would insist on Radco windows to the exclusion of any significant competition.
Generational Change
In 1988, Keith and John sold the company to John's son, Warren MacGregor. In 1990, the aluminum line was redesigned, and in 1995, the first vinyl products were introduced incorporating superior insulation properties. The company would undergo various changes to align itself for continued future success with state-of-the-art products and advanced manufacturing methods.
Born Again
In late 2001, Peter Bell, a semi-retired businessman pioneering the growth of Italian olive varietals in the Santa Ynez Valley, purchased the assets. A new company, Radco Exteriors, Inc. was formed and new management introduced. Under the dynamic leadership of Bil Mahoney, the product has been radically improved and is again regarded as superior to mass market competition.
Radco makes windows and doors for new construction and retrofit applications, and services contractors, developers and home owners in Central and Southern California. Sales have grown exponentially and the company is currently located in a state-of-the-art facility in Santa Maria.
