One of the leading manufacturers of residential, commercial, and architectural doors in the western U.S. and Canada continues its eastern expansion.

In 2022, Lynden Door Products of Lynden, Washington, opened an Alliance Door Products distribution branch on Dennis Road in St. Thomas.

In response to growing customer demand, Lynden Door is investing in a new residential door manufacturing plant in Aylmer, announced Alliance Door Products Canada president John Ridder.

A groundbreaking ceremony was held Tuesday (Oct. 20) on 20 acres within Aylmer’s AIM Industrial Park.

Ridder talked about the firm’s humble beginnings.

“The relationships we have built through our line store products distribution operation in St. Thomas, together with growing customer demand, have given us the confidence to make the next major investment in Canada, a new Linden Door Canada manufacturing facility here in Aylmer.”

He continued, “While our business has grown and changed, the principles behind it remained remarkably consistent: integrity, service and stewardship. We remain a family-owned and operated business, rooted in deep faith and in a belief that business can be conducted with honesty, kindness, humility, and respect for others. Those values have guided us for more than 70 years, and they continue to guide us today.
