The Newark-area  manufacturer of doors and windows shut down operations earlier this year. 

Door and Window Marketing reported the company had long-running financial problems. Rich employed 130. 

BF Rich, which was founded in the Wilmington area in the 1950s later moved to a warehouse-industrial area on Ruthar Drive east of Newark in the 1990s, the magazine reported. 

Rich faced stiff competition from national giants like Pella and Andersen as well as the ups and downs of the economy. A steep recession in Delaware  included the closing of both of the state’s auto plants and for a time the Delaware City refinery

BF Rich sold  its doors and windows to dealers in Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland, New York, Maine, New Hampshire, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Ohio, West Virginia, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee.
