We are excited to announce that the ground breaking ceremony of our new Nordik Windows manufacturing factory took place June 9, 2025 in the 417 Industrial Park in Vars.
Doubling Down on Window Innovation and Production Capacity
The expanded factory with a footprint of over 104,000 sq.ft. will allow us to ramp up production of our energy-efficient windows, as well as introduce new product lines such as impact-resistant windows designed to withstand extreme weather. Due late 2026, the new factory will allow us to add over 40 new jobs to the local economy, and support even more jobs elsewhere in our service areas.
The project, estimated at about $30M in cost, comes to life with generous support from the federal, provincial, and municipal levels.
