Founded in 1967 by Michel Pion, Portes et Fenêtres Verdun began modestly in the Verdun borough. Over the years, the strong reputation of this Quebec-based door and window manufacturer, combined with a team of dedicated and experienced leaders, has helped the company establish an important position in Quebec’s door and window industry.

In the early 1980s, Portes et Fenêtres Verdun partnered with engineers and visited manufacturing facilities in Japan in order to open Quebec’s first modern steel door assembly plant. This important milestone marked Verdun’s evolution toward a manufacturer-retailer model for doors and windows, allowing the company to develop its manufacturing expertise and stand out from other retailers in the industry.

Portes et Fenêtres Verdun has continued to grow over the years by developing an extensive network of locations throughout Greater Montreal. To meet the growing demand for its doors and windows, the company now operates 10 locations across the greater metropolitan area and plans to continue expanding in the coming years.

MORE THAN 50 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE…
With more than 50 years of experience in Quebec’s door and window industry, Portes et Fenêtres Verdun has established itself as a major player in its market. The company now employs more than 150 people across its manufacturing facility, head office, and network of retail locations, bringing together manufacturing expertise, professional advice, and close proximity to its customers.

Portes et Fenêtres Verdun, a Quebec-based door and window manufacturer established in 1967, continued its growth in 2019 with an investment of more than $15 million in its manufacturing operations.

This new 70,000-square-foot facility, located in Saint-Bruno, allowed the company to triple its production capacity through the addition of state-of-the-art equipment, including an automated CNC line. Equipped with manufacturing technology imported from Germany, the facility enables Verdun to leverage its manufacturing expertise in the production of residential doors and windows while ensuring greater control over product quality, precision, and performance. This manufacturing expertise also enables Verdun to produce ENERGY STAR® certified windows designed to deliver energy performance suited to Quebec’s climate.

This investment reflects Portes et Fenêtres Verdun’s commitment to continued innovation and the advancement of its expertise in order to provide Quebec-made doors and windows tailored to homeowners’ needs and the demands of Quebec’s climate.

Initially a grouping of affiliated merchants, all the branches in Montreal, South Shore, and North Shore were acquired by Alain Pion, the founder’s son, between 2020 to 2024. He becomes the sole owner of Groupe Verdun, still under family control, with his two children, Catherine and Philippe. The main goal of the unification is to mobilize resources in order to guarantee an unparalleled customer experience.
