What Thermoplast does
Thermoplast is a privately held Canadian manufacturer of PVC window and door profiles, headquartered in Laval, Quebec, with a second extrusion plant in Anjou operated as THERMOPLAST Nextrusions. The company was originally founded in 1966, passed through Royal Building Products (2006-2016) and ENERGI Fenestration Solutions (2016-2021), and was re-established under its current name in May 2021 when partners Michael McCullough, Jean Marois, and Martin Boulanger acquired the Laval operations; Nextrusions was acquired from VISION Group in October 2021, bringing combined capacity to 47 extrusion lines across both facilities and a headcount in the 251-500 range. Core products fall into three lines: the Performance Series (all-PVC and hybrid aluminum/PVC casement, awning, fixed, single-hung, and slider systems, rated CW-PG100 / A3), the Tilt and Turn (Oscillo-Battante) Series achieving R8 / RE48 thermal performance with Passivhaus compatibility, and Custom Window Systems built via in-house engineering and tooling. Underlying technology centers on multi-chamber PVC extrusion (up to 17-chamber frames, 15-chamber sashes, 42mm insulated glass unit compatibility) combined with fusion welding and hybrid aluminum-PVC composite systems, backed by an in-house testing laboratory and tooling/machining workshop. The revenue model is B2B hardware sales of extruded PVC profiles, mouldings, sashes, and frames to window and door manufacturers in Quebec and the Maritimes, supplemented by engineering/design services, certification support (AAMA, NFRC, ENERGY STAR, NAFS, Passivhaus, LEED), and technical field support including on-site production training. GTM combines a direct enterprise field-sales motion with channel partners (manufacturer-dealer networks) and trade-association marketing via AVFQ partnerships; pricing is not publicly disclosed and is handled through direct quotes to fabricators. A Zero Waste Solutions PVC recovery and recycling program, RECYC-QUÉBEC Performance+ attestation, and a complete independent Environmental Product Declaration for all-PVC fenestration round out the sustainability positioning.
