Our Story
Proudly Canadian. Proudly Buchner.
Buchner Manufacturing began over 46 years ago with a simple goal: to make building products better. In 1979, Gerry Buchner- an aluminum siding installer at the time- grew frustrated with the poor quality and design of the materials available to contractors. Instead of settling, he started building his own.
Working side by side with his sons, John and Andy, Gerry designed aluminum products that were easier to install, more durable, and made with the installer in mind. That hands-on, problem-solving spirit became the foundation of what Buchner is today.
Where We Are Now
Designed by Installers, Made for Everyone.
We serve contractors, distributors, and homeowners alike- offering a full range of high-quality exterior products including aluminum, steel, and copper solutions, vinyl siding, fasteners, sealants, metal roofing, and more.
Every product we make is designed by installers, for installers-with smart details that make installation smoother and help extend the life of the system. And we back it all with the kind of dependable service you can count on, whether you’re running a major job site or fixing up your home.
Today, Buchner Manufacturing has:
Nearly 200 employees
A full-scale manufacturing facility in Newmarket, Ontario
Four retail branches across the province that ship worldwide
A dedicated head office
And a Training Centre designed to support both industry professionals and homeowners
