JELD-WEN Partner Recognized As Innovative Home-Building Company; Mibroc Group Turns Heads

Online, April 18, 2011 (Newswire.com) - JELD-WEN Windows and Doors is pleased to congratulate Mibroc Group on being named one of BC's top 20 innovative companies. The home-building company received the nod from BC Business magazine, which says Mibroc Group is raising the bar with its marketing strategies.

The publication cites the company's "aggressive customer satisfaction strategy" as the reason it broke the top 20 beside much bigger organizations, including the City of Vancouver. It is the first time Mibroc Group has received this recognition.

"It's exciting to be listed," says Bryan Yorke, Mibroc Director of Marketing and Communications. "It's recognition of a real team effort. We continue to build upon our experiences and what rings true for people."

Mibroc Group has turned what can be the stressful process of building a new home into meaningful experiences and memories. Gestures have included homeowners' children outfitted in hardhats and tool belts to "help" with construction, and time capsules embedded into driveways.

JELD-WEN is the exclusive window supplier for Mibroc's Talasa residential project at Sun Rivers Golf Resort, outside of Kamloops, BC, in Canada's first geothermal resort community. When completed, Talasa will house more than 450 residences. Kamloops Home Hardware Building Centre is also a valued distribution partner in the project.

"Mibroc Group deserves this recognition," says Sante Cigana, JELD-WEN Canada Vice President. "They are innovative and committed to sustainability, and we are happy to have our products showcased in their projects. Congratulations."
