We have a small factory with a BIG product - Toyota started on a small island, and we too use it to our advantage!
Duxton is a proudly local family-run business. We manufacture high performance fiberglass windows and doors. Because we work and live in a very cold climate, we have some of the best performing systems in Canada! We regularly send staff to lean training and encourage improvement projects on the floor. Learn how CME and Lean have been instrumental in our evolution to create Lean systems. Come and see for yourself the progress we’ve made.

ABOUT THE COMPANY
Duxton Windows & Doors was founded by Al Dueck in 1999 with a focus on manufacturing. We proudly design and fabricate windows and doors in-house. We supply commercial and residential projects alike, in new construction and renovation. Because of its high insulation and durability, we exclusively use fiberglass framing, with dual, triple and even quad or quint pane glass options
