Founded in 1944 by master woodworker Ray Neisewander Sr. and plant superintendent William Norberg, Raynor Garage Door Manufacturing began as a partnership combining their talents. After moving to Dixon, Illinois, Raynor evolved under Ray's sole ownership from 1948, focusing on quality craftsmanship and strong relationships. The company expanded through the decades, launching innovative doors like the Raynor Jet and Tri-Core, growing manufacturing facilities, and establishing distribution centers nationwide. Under successive generations of the Neisewander family, Raynor embraced global markets, acquisitions, and product diversification, including the notable Aspen Series. Today, headquartered in Dixon with a new expansive facility, Raynor continues its legacy of integrity, service, and family values, now welcoming its fourth generation into leadership and maintaining a commitment to excellence in the garage door industry.
