Do you ever wonder how a company starts?
Minnesota Rusco Inc. used to be a branch of a larger corporation that manufactured and sold steel storm windows way back in the 1930’s. An office was opened up here in the Twin Cities in 1955.
The current primary owner Mel Hazelwood started with the company as a shipping clerk. From there he went into sales and eventually bought the business in the 1960’s. The original corporation went out of business with the demise of storm windows.
The local company incorporated in Minnesota and became a retail and commercial window company keeping the local name of Minnesota Rusco Inc. Since then we have added doors, siding and Sunroom products. Mel continues to work most days seeing that the business continues with the same strong ethical principles that built our reputation.
