JELD-WEN Holding, Inc. (JELD)

Door and window plants on two continents. Read October 19, 2026 from the annual report for the period ending December 31, 2025, filed February 23, 2026. Ranked 150 of the 175 Industrials companies read so far, by the share within reach now.

The filing states 13,900 employees, 8,200 in North America and corporate and 5,700 in Europe, making doors and windows of wood, vinyl and metal, with no count by product.

The figures on this page come from the company's own annual report and from BLS staffing patterns for its industries, never from a roster. They are estimates with a stated method. Nothing here says what the company will do: within reach is not a forecast of jobs lost or of savings.

What follows from the reading

Share of working time within reach of AI, on the long-run pace at four in five: 16% now, 22% at the end of 2027, 24% at the end of 2028, 25% at the end of 2030. By the patterns, the work is about 25% desk work, 13% people work and 62% body work. These are the site's industry estimates weighted by the shares below: estimates with a stated method and range, not a forecast of what the company will do. By the same patterns, at the end of 2028 about 75% of the working time stays with people (conversation, in-person and hands-on work), 19% becomes checking a model's work and 5% could be handed over with lighter checks, from the industries' own figures, not the company's roles.

Limits of this reading

• The corporate operations are counted with the North America segment, so management of companies gets no share (rule 6).
• The U.S. share is not stated alone.
