Description
From that day forward, I started to join in with this ritual and it is now a defined aspect of our company culture. Our guests from abroad come in and look forward to spending time with us in the kitchen, catching up over an espresso and some local baked goods. Every day at 2:00PM, there is a coffee break for the office staff and our famed barista, Christopher Meiorin. We have even included a coffee scene in our corporate video.
Contrast this early model to some of the equipment on display by JRC Machinery of Quebec at the past Win-Door show. Most notable in their product showcase was the Integra Q2 four-point welder by Italian-based machinery manufacturer, Emmegi, which was nothing short of an engineering marvel wrapped in a skin that would not look out of place in a Porsche showroom. Watching this impressive piece of equipment run through its demonstration cycle, I could not help but wonder what one would do when it fails on the shop floor.
Before I worked in the Toronto area, I had only heard rumours of this ‘Window Zone’. This area where there are hundreds of window and door manufacturers all competing for space. I thought it was hype, or an excuse as to why Toronto seemed to be a challenging sales territory. Then I became immersed in this region. It is true – the density of window and door manufacturers in this one area exceeds that of anywhere else in North America. One of my first realizations was that being a tea drinker wasn’t going to cut it anymore. That and I needed nicer shoes.
Mario Canario joined EVW in 2003 as Production Manager after having worked for another Ontario based manufacturer (Repla) for 28 years! When owner, Chris Meiorin set out to replace his business partner and production manager of 17 years, he would not allow compromise in the production process.
In short, the philosophy of Euro Vinyl Windows has been, and remains, to build the best window and door products we can. This philosophy seems simple enough, however sometimes remains a challenge, especially during economic downturns and being faced with an increase in low priced windows flooding the market. With this, EVW has continued to add value to our products, and work closely with our supply partners to bring the product to market for as competitive a price as possible. This philosophy is rarely questioned or deviated from and remains a benchmark for how we go about our business.
