PHTech

PHTech, founded in 1962, operates in the building products industry with a specialization in the design and manufacture of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) windows and patio doors. The company was established by professional homebuilders Raymond and Dominique Dallaire, who initially began manufacturing their own window models to meet the quality standards for their construction projects. This internal solution evolved into the broader business that exists today. The company is now run by the second generation of the Dallaire family.

The firm's business model is vertically integrated, encompassing design, extrusion of PVC profiles with a proprietary formula, assembly, and delivery. This integrated approach allows them to offer customized, high-performance products tailored to specific client needs and local environments. PHTech serves a diverse client base across North America, including national and regional window and door manufacturers, as well as high-end manufacturer-retailers and distributors. Their offerings include window extrusions, along with options for both kit and assembled patio doors.

In June 2022, the company was acquired by a group including Desjardins, National Bank of Canada, and Caroline Dallaire, who is the president and CEO. An earlier partnership in 2018 with private equity firm BDG & Partners was intended to provide capital for growth and product development. The company operates facilities across Canada and the United States, including a location in Leetsdale, Pennsylvania, to support its North American clients.
