What Our Member-Owners and Supplier Partners Are Saying
After speaking to a few members of the Fenestra Co-op it became clear this would be a great strategic move for our company. Centralized EFT payments to Vendors, and access to a turn-key code compliant Door Sill were driving factors in our decision.

With Fenestra Co-operative, we have access to a manufacturing experience for concrete answers to our problems. Its strength is based on that of its members.

The reason that Centra joined Fenestra is a simple one. Relationships. The window and door industry is a tough business with daily challenges in human resources, technology, product R&D, suppliers, competition, and governments. The more relationships we have with like-minded window and door businesses, the better we are able to solve problems and move our business strategies forward that much faster.

I was invited by an existing member to come out to a meeting. Within a very short time I realized the benefits of networking with a great group of like-minded business owners. I had always felt alone and now have well over 20 people willing to accept my call and discuss any issues that I may have.

We joined Fenestra after meeting with one of the original members (Centennial Windows) and representatives of Fenestra. We didn’t have experience with buying groups and weren’t sure of the benefits, but we joined because we knew and respected the companies who were members. We haven’t looked back since. We enjoy many benefits including involvement with supplier selection and evaluation. We are proud to support Fenestra.

In addition to the guaranteed payments that the Co-operative ensures, being a Preferred Supplier to Fenestra is like having a second sales force, with the members positively influencing each other to purchase from Novatech. Our penetration rate definitely increases when dealing with Fenestra Co-op Members.

As the President of a manufacturing company of doors and windows, it was important for me to be associated with a dynamic group of professionals who have, at heart, the same goals as me.
