Centra Wins Canada's Most Admired Corporate CultureCentra Windows is coming to Alberta! We are very pleased to announce our acquisition of Supreme Windows. This is the first time we’ve purchased another business, and Calgary is about to find out why Centra is BC’s favourite window company!
Why Supreme Windows?
Supreme Windows has been a family-owned and operated business for the last 55 years, and we’ve admired them for the last couple of decades. Supreme’s standards are high, they have a great eye for detail, and they take care of their people. This is what made them such a perfect fit for the Centra Family.
Centra wanted to move into the Alberta marketplace, but we also wanted to do so with the expertise to make the perfect windows for the province. We understand that what works for BC will not necessarily work for Alberta, but thankfully we’ll have Supreme’s experts along with their decades of experience of the unique needs of Albertan homeowners and the local climate. There’s a reason the company is so highly regarded in the province, and we don’t want to change that.
These windows will still be 100% made in Alberta, for Alberta, by the same people who’ve given Supreme such a stellar reputation and gotten so many great reviews! The acquisition won’t affect the orders of current Supreme customers, and future Supreme customers will enjoy all the perks Centra has to offer.
“We want to do right by our employees. We put a lot of thought into it, and we thought Centra was a very good fit because all the tools are there for them to move the company forward and help the current staff. We feel comfortable that Centra is a very positive choice.”
- Dennis Huber, Supreme Windows Owner
Centra Moving Forward
This will be our 5th Location and our 2nd manufacturing plant, and with the addition of the Supreme team, we will go from having 375 Employee Owners to 450.
Supreme brings a lot of potential for future growth, and these plans are going to provide a lot of opportunities for job seekers in Alberta and options for consumers in the wider province. We don’t want to give too much away, but there is a lot to be excited about on the horizon!
“At Supreme, you have amazing people who produce amazing products and services. That’s like Centra. With like-minded people who are passionate about what they do and how they do it, especially when it comes to great consumer experiences, can you imagine what we can achieve together? I think the opportunities are endless here.”
-Garett Wall, CEO of Centra Windows
A Big Opportunity for the Supreme Team
Supreme employees will be given the same great benefits that all Centra employees enjoy, including the chance to become Employee Owners themselves. Our Employee Ownership program currently has a participation rate of 85%. Owners care, and when you’re dealing with a Centra or Supreme employee, they’re likely someone who actually owns part of the company! The Supreme Team will also have a chance to make a difference to causes that matter to them through the Centra Cares Foundation, and Alberta opens up many new opportunities and communities for the foundation to give back to!
Western Canada’s Best Windows
Centra’s energy efficient products are the best because we’re true Window Geeks, and Supreme are the Alberta Window Experts. Our experience and knowledge have made us leaders in the industry, and we have resources at our disposal that most competitors lack. With Supreme’s expertise, we’re only going to strengthen our offering further, which is great news for both Albertans and British Columbians!
