Strength in Partnership: The EasCan & Kohltech Windows and Systems Relationship 

Client: Kohltech Windows and Systems, led by Darren Rogers (Facilities Manager) 

Challenge

Kohltech Windows and Systems, a leading manufacturer of window and door systems in Canada, faced a series of critical infrastructure challenges over the years, from structural weaknesses to aging facilities. The company required a trusted construction partner to provide durable, high-quality solutions that could withstand extreme weather conditions while allowing uninterrupted operations. They needed a team that prioritized craftsmanship, flexibility, and long-term support—qualities that not all contractors could deliver. 

Solutions Provided by EasCan

EasCan worked with Kohltech Windows and Systems on multiple high-stakes projects, ensuring that their operations remained seamless and their infrastructure remained resilient. EasCan’s commitment to collaboration and adaptability made them an invaluable partner. 

Projects Overview

Emergency Structural Reinforcement (2015) 

Problem: A collapsed roof due to record-breaking snowfall, revealing underlying structural weaknesses. 

EasCan’s Approach: Provided immediate on-site assessment and reinforcement of a 17,000 sq. ft. facility. 

Minimizing Disruption: EasCan scheduled construction around Kohltech’s 6:00 AM–1:00 AM production shifts, working overnight to prevent business disruptions. 

Major Facility Expansion (2018-2019) 

The Problem: Kohltech needed to expand operations with a 30,000 sq. ft. addition while keeping manufacturing running. 

EasCan’s Approach: Worked closely with general contractors to integrate EasCan into the project, ensuring quality craftsmanship. 

Beyond the Contract: Helped move 12,000 sq. ft. of manufacturing equipment—without it being part of the contract—demonstrating their commitment to Kohltech’s success. 

Roof Insulation & Energy Efficiency Improvements (2021, 2024) 

The Problem: Previous contractors had built roofs “on the cheap,” leading to leaks and poor insulation. 

EasCan’s Approach: Replaced 30,000 sq. ft. of roofing, adding six inches of insulation, removing skylights, and significantly improving temperature retention. 

Immediate Cost Savings: Post-installation, Kohltech measured an 8°C difference between floor and ceiling temperatures, setting the stage for thousands in annual heating savings. 

Shipping Department Expansion (2022) 

The Problem: A complex 11,000 sq. ft. expansion required navigating challenging land slopes, drainage issues, and existing infrastructure constraints. 

EasCan’s Approach: Worked collaboratively to problem-solve, offering solutions that minimized disruption. 

Trust in Action: Kohltech awarded the project to EasCan without requesting competing bids, relying on their proven track record. 

Success Metrics & Business Impact

✅ Seamless Operations: EasCan’s overnight construction approach prevented any major downtime in Kohltech’s production. 

✅ Long-Term Cost Savings: The newly insulated roof and heating efficiency improvements are projected to save thousands in energy costs annually.
