About Fenestra Purchasing Co-Op

Fenestra Purchasing Co-Op is a specialty contracting business located on Fullarton St in the Downtown neighbourhood of London, Ontario. It serves as a buying group for independent window and door fabricators across Canada, providing a network that helps these businesses leverage combined purchases, create supply chain efficiencies, and lower input costs. The co-op offers an invitational-only network for independently-owned window and door fabricators, fenestration suppliers based in Canada or the United States, and complementary service providers. Members gain access to exclusive rebate programs with top-tier suppliers, as well as exclusive events such as the Annual General Meeting and the Advantage / Acceleration event. These events facilitate owner-level networking, business development, and face-to-face meetings between fabricators and suppliers. The co-op also provides a central billing and payment model that includes line item tracking and an audit trail for rebate distributions. Founded on a vision to help independent fabricators thrive, Fenestra has operated for over 10 years and currently includes more than 40 fabricator members. It operates on a co-operative model where each fabricator member holds one equal share and one vote on the strategic direction of the organization. The co-op is managed under contract by LBMX Inc. and overseen by a board of directors including Linda Gourlay, Bobby Labrie, Paul Kreutner, Adriano Iannetti, and Joël Bossé. The business is funded through a traction fee charged to suppliers for central billing efficiencies and a small percentage of the total rebates paid out to members.
