America’s leading manufacturer and distributor of composite and
solid wood mouldings and finished grade lumber, we want to also
lead in interior and exterior door distribution, systems and
services. This latest expansion of our service offering in
Canada shows our determination to deliver. It builds on over 60
years of door experience in the Canadian market, our strength in
interior and exterior door solutions in Western U.S. through
Metrie EL & EL; and our recent acquisitions of the BWI, Florida
Made Door, and Louisiana Millwork door distribution businesses
from Owens Corning in the Eastern and Southern U.S.”
“We have had value-add capabilities on interior doors across
Canada for many years; but these asset purchases will accelerate
the strategic service offerings we can make to customers –
across both interior and exterior door solutions,” added Ashik
Bhat, Regional Vice-President, Metrie Canada. “We will have full
custom capability across CNC cutting, pre-finishing, jamb
preparation and sill fabrication and assembly. This means that
