Windsor, ON – Baker Tilly is pleased to announce Tremblar Building Supplies Ltd. (“Tremblar”) has been successfully acquired by Cascadia Equity (“Cascadia”), with Baker Tilly serving as exclusive sell-side advisor.
Founded in 1975 and acquired by long-time employees Bill Durfy and Karen Golden in 2006, Tremblar has grown from a small distributor into a market leader through a focus on operational excellence and customer service. The company is a trusted supplier of hollow metal steel doors, window frames and finished door hardware for contractors and developers across the Windsor-Essex region.
A private equity firm based in Calgary, Cascadia was founded in 2019 and is dedicated to fostering the growth of small to medium-sized businesses throughout North America. Its portfolio includes Southwest Doors and Hardware, a commercial doors and windows company in London and Southwestern Ontario, which is a strong strategic fit with Tremblar.
“Tremblar is thrilled to partner with Cascadia,” notes Durfy and Golden in a statement. “This marks a significant step forward for our company and people. Working together, we look forward to serving our customers better, thanks to the opportunities and growth that lie ahead.”
“Baker Tilly’s corporate finance team is proud to have supported Tremblar in this strategic transaction,” says Vice President Peter Corio. “Through this process, our goal was to find the right partner to support Bill and Karen in Tremblar’s growth. In Cascadia, we are confident we’ve found exactly that.”
