The Portland Press Herald reported (http://bit.ly/2f3AkiN ) Iowa-based Pella Corp. announced Wednesday it has acquired Duratherm Windows Corp. in Vassalboro. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Duratherm has made custom hardwood windows, stairways and doors since 1967. President Tim Downing says the partnership will create “exciting possibilities” for the company.
