Inside Our Toronto Plant - Where Canadian Craftsmanship Comes to Life

At JELD-WEN of Canada, we believe that great windows and doors start with great people—and nowhere is that more evident than at our United plant in Vaughan, Ontario.

Just north of Toronto, this facility is one of the cornerstones of our Canadian operations. It’s where innovation meets craftsmanship, and where a dedicated team works every day to build products that stand up to the unique demands of Canadian homes.

Built for Canada, by Canadians

The Vaughan plant specializes in manufacturing high-performance windows and doors designed specifically for our climate. Whether it’s the icy winds of winter or the heat of a southern Ontario summer, our products are engineered to perform—keeping homes comfortable, energy-efficient, and beautiful all year round.

But what makes this plant truly special isn’t just the technology or the materials. It’s the people.

Meet the Team Behind the Tools

Step inside the United plant and you’ll find a team of skilled professionals who take pride in every product that leaves the floor. Many of our employees have been with JELD-WEN for years, bringing deep experience and a strong sense of ownership to their work.

“There’s a real sense of pride here,” says one long-time team member. “We know that what we build ends up in someone’s home. That matters to us.” – Jeff Pigeon (Director of Marketing)

From assembly to quality control, every step of the process is handled with care. It’s this attention to detail that helps us deliver the quality and reliability our customers expect.

Supporting Local Communities

The Vaughan plant doesn’t just support our business—it supports the local economy. By manufacturing close to where our customers live, we’re able to reduce transportation emissions, shorten delivery times, and create good jobs in the community.

We’re proud to be part of Vaughan’s growing manufacturing sector and to contribute to the strength of Canadian industry.

Looking Ahead

As we continue to grow, the United plant will remain a key part of our future. We’re investing in new technologies, expanding our capabilities, and continuing to put people first—because we know that’s what drives real, lasting quality.
