At JELD-WEN, manufacturing is about more than just producing doors and windows. It's about the skilled people who bring dedication, expertise and teamwork to every shift. Across our plants, employees work together to solve challenges, improve processes and deliver quality products for customers around the world. In celebration of Manufacturing Week, we're highlighting team members who help drive our success.
Stephane Berthiaume
Plant Manager, Saint-Appollinaire, Canada
Q: What do you like most about working in manufacturing?
A: The main motivation for me is knowing that as a team, we can always improve and do better. We constantly remind ourselves that if we improve just 1% each day, those gains become significant over time.
Q: What does Together, We Build Better mean to you?
A: With the number of engaged people we have across JELD-WEN, there is no reason we can't be industry leaders if we remain humble, listen to our people and give them opportunities to share ideas and best practices.
Q: What makes you most proud when you walk through your plant?
A: Our Saint-Apollinaire facility has a proud history spanning more than 50 years. What makes me proud is seeing the strong culture, commitment to quality and customer-first mindset that has been passed down through generations of employees.
