Crane Performance
Crane Performance Siding, LLC is one of the world's largest privately owned producers of exterior vinyl siding and accessories with over 40 years of extrusion experience. Crane introduced a new generation of siding called Solid Core Siding® seven years ago and continues to lead the industry with new products like CraneBoard® Board & Batten and Double 6.5" Beaded. As the originator of Solid Core Siding, Crane continues this strong heritage and is recognized for superior product workmanship, durability and performance. The Columbus, Ohio-based company offers a wealth of experience and expertise in both materials formulation and extrusion technology.

Crane's vinyl sidingproducts are recognized for their superior workmanship, durability and
performance, including their new SOLID CORE SIDING® products, such as CraneBoard®. U.S. manufacturing is done in two facilities. A state-of-the-art facility opened in 2000 and the original production plant opened in 1976.

Most important, however, is there commitment to quality that endures. Just as the Crane company has been passed down from generation to generation, Crane products are built and installed to last, to stand up to the elements, to be a legacy of excellence for years to come. The Crane heritage is grounded in the American tradition of hard work, pleasure in craftsmanship and satisfaction in a job well done!
