About Us

Fendor Glass & Aluminum is a true Ottawa success story. Founded in 1941 as a manufacturer of wooden garage doors, the company soon found its niche in aluminum windows. The next big breakthrough came with their 1955 invention of the Fendock, an aluminum dock and accessory system for cottages that has become the gold standard in Eastern Canada and beyond.

Still a proud family business, the company’s myriad products now include commercial and residential windows, doors, entranceways and more. Fendor’s success has been built on the quality of its products. “We work very hard to be innovative in terms of our product development while consistently maintaining the high manufacturing standards Fendor has always been known for,” confirms owner Greg Westwell. “Offering the best customer service possible has helped make us a leader in a very competitive industry and I think it’s one of the reasons we have so much repeat business, particularly among contractors.”
 

The company’s Fendock products offer the same value proposition. “Fendock is a strong, safe and lightweight docking system made of top-quality structural aluminum. It is environmentally friendly and maintenance free, with no annual repairs or rebuilding required,” explains Greg. An affordable, high-quality product, Fendock is not only attractive, but easy to assemble as well, enabling you to enjoy your cottage and boating season more.

Fendor’s commitment to conservation and stewardship is integrated into the design of every Fendock product. “We educate our customers about the toxicity of using pressure treated lumber which can contain chemicals such as chromium, copper, and arsenic, all of which make pressure treated lumber unsuitable for use as a decking material around waterways.”

The company’s commitment to the community is impressive. In addition to being a regular contributor to the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority, Fendor has been supplying its Fendock truss-style docks to the Ottawa Dragon Boat Festival – the largest event of its kind in North America – for over 15 years; it’s a true testament to the product that they are resilient enough to support the almost 30 000 people who use them during the festival weekend each year.

After decades in Westboro, Fendor relocated in 2013 to a larger space on Auriga Drive in Nepean that is home to both a gorgeous showroom and a modern manufacturing facility. Visit them soon to view their extensive range of products and a great outdoor display of Fendock products.
