SACRAMENTO, CA – DE LA FONTAINE Industries, a manufacturing company based in Quebec, Canada, specialized in designing and manufacturing steel doors and frames, will open a new factory located in the Sacramento region. This new facility will employ approximately 20 employees and is planned to officially open for December 2024.
DE LA FONTAINE Industries has invested to lease and equip 25,000 square feet of space in a facility on Ramco St, in West Sacramento, CA. This new manufacturing facility will house state-of-the-art production equipment, enabling the company to maintain short lead times and better serve its West Coast clients, in the States of California, Nevada, Arizona and Oregon.
“This new facility in the Sacramento region is a part of our global strategy, as it will reinforce DE LA FONTAINE Industries’ presence on the West Coast,” said Gabriel de La Fontaine, General Manager. ‘’We have worked for many years to expand our presence in the American territory. To satisfy better our customers of this burgeoning market, we realized it was necessary to assert a physical presence in the field.”
The company’s growth plan focuses among other things on acquisitions and opening of new facilities across the United States. In 2017, DE LA FONTAINE Industries had acquired a plant in Hyattsville, MD, and another in Grand Prairie, TX in 2019. From 2020 to 2023, the company has also opened a facility in Indianapolis, IN; Concord, NC; Orlando, FL; and Lebanon, TN, in addition to being present in Woburn, MA for several years. The DE LA FONTAINE Industries’ plant in Sacramento, CA will therefore be the company’s eighth facility in the United States.
“The Greater Sacramento region is emerging as a key West Coast hub for innovative, international companies,” said Greater Sacramento Economic Council (GSEC) President & CEO Barry Broome. “We look forward to welcoming DE LA FONTAINE Industries to the region’s growing manufacturing industry and creating more job opportunities for our residents.”
Founded in 1968, DE LA FONTAINE Industries is a third-generation family business that employs more than 400 employees at its production facilities across North America. Member of the prestigious Steel Door Institute (SDI), the company designs and manufactures steel doors and steel frames can be found in a variety of diverse locations like the headquarters of the U.S. Department of Defense, Boston Museum of Fine Arts, Colorado State University Stadium as well as schools, residences and industrial facilities around the world. The company’s products, which meet the needs of customers as well as safety, sustainability and fire resistance standards, are distributed across North America and Latin America.
