Triple Seal has acquired the Guardian Rexdale facility from Guardian Industries Canada, whose parent company is Guardian Industries, headquartered in Auburn Hills, Michigan, USA.
The acquisition will add laminated glass to Triple Seal’s fabrication product line as well as increased capacity for toughening, fabricating and IG units. Plans are already under way to add new technologies to the Rexdale plant with the installation of a heat soak oven used to test tempered glass for applications such as balcony railings.
The Guardian Rexdale facility will now be named Triple Seal Rexdale and orders will be honored going forward.
Mark Franklin, President of Triple Seal, says that the company had been researching and preparing for this acquisition for many months, and the combined strength of both companies is a great opportunity for Triple Seal to deliver greater value to customers through increased capacity and broader product offering.
“This is a very exciting time for Triple Seal,” he said. “We see huge business potential as we are acquiring solid production capabilities with great people, leading edge equipment and a strong customer base.”
The extra capacity that the Rexdale facility affords, as well as laminated glass, strengthens the ability of the Triple Seal Group to offer a full glass solution to existing customers such as OEM furniture manufactures, contract glazers, installers and all other glass consumers.
