Atlantic window manufacturer honored

Kohler Manufacturing Ltd., based in Debert, NS, has received one of Ernst & Young’s Entrepreneur of the Year Awards. The awards honor companies that have demonstrated success in their respective industries.
Kohler is a manufacturer of vinyl windows and doors. The company is responsible for a number of innovations which have become standard throughout the industry. These include energy-saving, argon-filled windows, tilt-in glass for easy cleaning and just-in-time window delivery. As well, the company introduced a window that doesn’t need caulking.
President Peter Kohler says he plans to aggressively expand into the U.S., where sales of Kohler’s windows and doors have increased by 25% during the last year. He also sees more room for growth along Canada’s eastern seaboard.
