Opening two new service centers to offer factory direct distribution in Canada
Pinellas Park, Fla. – Aug. 6, 2019 - Madico, Inc., a market leader in the manufacturing and distribution of quality window films, announced the acquisition of its two Canadian distributors, Courage Distributing, Inc. and Window Film Systems and the formation of a new entity, Madico Canada. The company will operate both former Courage distribution locations in Oakville, Ontario, and Richmond, British Columbia, to serve the market.
Owned
and operated by brothers Todd and Trent Courage, Courage Distributing has been
a successful wholesale distribution company selling window film, paint
protection film, and accessories since it was founded in 1993. The Courage
brothers were inducted into the Window Film Hall of Fame in 2015, receiving the
Award of Excellence for their dealer service and support as well as
philanthropic endeavors.
All
current Courage employees will become part of Madico Canada with both Courage
brothers joining Madico in operations and sales leadership roles to ensure
continuity and high-quality service to customers throughout the country.
In
2018, Window Film Systems celebrated its 40th year distributing and
installing Madico window films. Owner Peter Yates will continue to liaise with
valued dealers of Madico Canada. Window Film Systems will maintain its
long-standing relationship with Madico in their successful film installation
division. The company is known throughout Canada as a leader in the decorative
films market and has completed many notable architectural installations.
“Both
Window Film Systems and Courage have been outstanding partners and successful
distributors for decades,” said Jim Black, Director of Window Film Sales. “We
are so pleased that this approach will allow Madico, our partners, and our
customers to all benefit from this dynamic new entity. We intend to support the
Canadian market like never before with enhancements such as a fuller range of
products and significantly increased marketing support.”
With the addition of the two Canadian locations, Madico is the only window film manufacturer to provide 100% factory direct service to all customers in North America with a total of eight Service Centers strategically located throughout the United States and Canada.
