Growth Investment to Support Energy-Efficient Construction

With demand for sustainable construction solutions on the rise, Cascadia plans to expand its manufacturing capacity and strengthen its North American footprint. The company’s advanced fiberglass fenestration products—engineered to reduce building energy use and carbon emissions—help developers meet stringent energy codes while lowering long-term operating costs.

“This investment marks a pivotal moment in Cascadia’s journey, building on the long-term support of Renewal FundsToro Aluminum, and our other early investors. It's also a testament to the vision and dedication of the company's founding president Kevin Ganzert,” said Mike Battistel, President of Cascadia Windows & Doors.

“It will accelerate our growth, expand our reach across North America, and allow us to scale adoption of the high-performance fiberglass windows and window wall systems we’ve pioneered,” continues Battistel. “With this investment, Cascadia can rapidly advance commercial-grade fiberglass fenestration to more markets, more quickly, helping our customers meet emerging building codes while advancing decarbonization across the built environment.”

Investor Commitment to Decarbonization and Clean Technology

The growth round is backed by investors focused on climate and clean energy innovation. MKB Equity Partners led the investment, while Canada Growth Fund committed $30 million to support clean technology commercialization.

“Our partnership with Cascadia reflects MKB’s commitment to supporting companies that combine strong growth potential with measurable impact,” said Chanel Damphousse, Partner at MKB. “For more than fifteen years, Cascadia has been pioneering fiberglass fenestration, building deep expertise in systems that deliver superior thermal performance, durability, and compliance with advancing energy codes. We are proud to support Cascadia’s next phase of expansion as they scale operations in North America and accelerate decarbonization across the built environment.”

Blue Earth Capital echoed this sentiment, highlighting the importance of windows in improving building efficiency.

“Buildings are one of the largest contributors to global GHG emissions, and windows are generally the thermally weakest part of the building envelope,” said Kayode Akinola, Head of Private Equity at Blue Earth Capital. “In keeping with one of our core investment themes around decarbonising the built environment, our team is excited to partner with Cascadia, a leading provider of commercial fiberglass building products, to help scale a solution that increases the insulation quality of windows and improves building energy efficiency.”

For Cascadia, this coalition of impact-driven investors underscores its role as a North American leader in climate-focused building technologies.

Cascadia’s Legacy of Innovation in Fiberglass Windows and Doors

Founded in 2008 in Langley, BC, by a group of building scientists and window specialists, Cascadia was born out of lessons from the Pacific Northwest’s Leaky Condo crisis. The founders foresaw energy inefficiency as the next systemic challenge facing the built environment—and set out to create products that could help prevent it.

Among its earliest breakthroughs were the Cascadia Clip® thermally broken cladding support system and the Universal Series™ fiberglass window frame. These two innovations redefined what was possible in exterior insulation assemblies and fenestration—delivering unmatched thermal performance, structural integrity, and design flexibility, while helping architects and builders meet increasingly stringent energy codes.

Today, Cascadia has grown into a 150-person product design and manufacturing innovator with a 90,000 ft² facility and projects spanning every Canadian province, territory, and nearly every U.S. state.

Notable innovations include:

“Our mission has always been clear: to design building products that push the limits of performance while reducing the environmental footprint of construction,” Battistel said. “We believe energy-efficient buildings aren’t just possible—they’re essential.”

About Cascadia Windows & Doors

Why This Investment Matters for North America’s Built Environment

Buildings are among the largest sources of greenhouse gas emissions, with windows often being the weakest link in the building envelope. Cascadia’s fiberglass systems provide up to 250% improved thermal performance compared to traditional aluminum frames, reducing heating and cooling loads while lowering lifecycle costs for building owners.

By replacing traditional materials with commercial-grade fiberglass, Cascadia supports net-zero construction goals and helps future-proof buildings against both regulatory and climate challenges.

This latest investment will accelerate Cascadia’s role as a North American clean technology leader, ensuring more projects across Canada and the U.S. can benefit from sustainable building products that deliver both performance and resilience.
