A LARGER FACILITY TO SUPPORT THE AMBITIONS OF DOOR AND WINDOW MANUFACTURERS AND DISTRIBUTORS

News - Intro image

Mélymax is expanding its facility to meet the growing needs of door and window manufacturers and distributors. This expansion, carried out between October 2022 and October 2023, was followed by a complete renovation of the old offices from October 2023 to June 2024 to provide modern and functional workspaces for our teams.

This significant $7.5 million investment marks a new chapter in the company's growth. Thanks to this expansion, Mélymax has doubled its production space, increasing from 24,000 to nearly 50,000 square feet, positioning itself as a key partner for manufacturers and distributors looking to optimize their space and increase their revenue.

A Solution to the Challenges Faced by Quebec Manufacturers

Are you limited in production capacity due to a lack of space in your facility? If so, Mélymax now offers a solution.

In a context where production space optimization is crucial for Quebec door and window manufacturers, Mélymax addresses this challenge strategically with its expanded facility. By subcontracting door manufacturing to Mélymax, partners can focus on window production, maximize their space, and boost productivity.

This expansion provides a comprehensive solution: increased production capacity, optimized timelines, and consistent quality. Additionally, the added space allows not only for higher production volumes but also for optimized storage, essential for storing steel doors prior to distribution.

This growth also represents an unparalleled opportunity for Mélymax's clients—manufacturers and distributors—who can now entrust their door manufacturing to Mélymax, maximizing their production space.

Increased Production Capacity for Core Products

By freeing up space to focus on high-demand products like windows, manufacturers can increase their production capacity in this category. This enables them to respond more quickly to customer orders without being hindered by space constraints.

Cost Savings in Storage and Internal Logistics

Optimizing production space reduces internal handling and logistics costs. Less occupied space means shorter distances for material movement, easier access to essential equipment, and more efficient storage, which reduces costs and production delays.

Flexibility for Special or Large-Scale Orders

Better-managed space provides the ability to accept custom or large orders without disrupting regular operations. This is an asset for manufacturers looking to diversify or handle specific projects while maintaining their production pace.

Improved Safety and Working Conditions

Overcrowded production spaces can pose safety risks for employees and complicate movement on the shop floor. Optimizing space creates a safer and more pleasant work environment, which can positively impact employee productivity and reduce the risk of accidents.

Supply Chain Optimization and Faster Production Timelines

By freeing up space and outsourcing certain productions to Mélymax, companies can focus on critical production stages and accelerate them. Smoother organization minimizes bottlenecks, resulting in a faster production chain and reduced delivery times.

Opportunity to Introduce New Technologies

Freeing up space allows for the installation of modern machinery or robotics, increasing productivity and precision. These tools reduce human error and ensure consistent quality—valuable benefits for clients seeking standardized or mass-produced products.

Integration of a Robot: Innovation for Quality and Efficiency

Mélymax took advantage of its expansion to introduce new technologies, including the integration of a robotic painting line. Currently in its integration phase, this robot represents a strategic advancement for Mélymax. Once fully operational, it will improve production timelines by ensuring consistent speeds and quality from one production run to the next.

This robot is just one of many improvements made possible by the expansion, embodying Mélymax's vision: to offer clients highly reliable products manufactured with enhanced precision.

Concrete Benefits of Outsourcing Door Production to Mélymax

By outsourcing door production, manufacturers gain several practical advantages:

Resource Optimization

Companies can focus their resources, equipment, and workforce on a single production line, improving efficiency and capacity.

Reduced Operational Costs

Outsourcing eliminates fixed costs associated with maintaining specific machinery and managing material inventories for door production. It also reduces costs related to machine maintenance, repair, and spare parts management, allowing businesses to reinvest savings into window production.

Enhanced Quality and Consistency

Mélymax's specialized expertise ensures consistently high-quality doors, improving the manufacturer's reputation with clients.

Shortened Delivery Timelines

Focusing exclusively on windows simplifies production chains, accelerating manufacturing and delivery timelines for these products. Mélymax’s expanded capacity also ensures better control over door production timelines.

Increased Flexibility

Subcontracting part of their production allows manufacturers to adapt to market demand without being limited by their internal capacity.

Focus on Window Innovation

Manufacturers can dedicate resources to developing innovative, energy-efficient, and aesthetically appealing window products, staying competitive in a rapidly evolving market.

Risk Management and Cost Predictability

Subcontracting helps manufacturers better manage material and labor costs in door production. Mélymax’s optimized facilities offer competitive and stable pricing, enabling better budgeting and mitigating cost fluctuations.

A Vision for the Future to Better Serve Partners

With this expansion and optimized equipment, Mélymax is ready to meet the challenges of a growing market. By investing in modern infrastructure and increasing production capacity, the company positions itself as a partner of choice for door and window manufacturers and distributors.
