Experienced Custom Glass Company in Winnipeg

Fort Rouge Glass has built a strong and reputable business in Winnipeg over the last 55 + years. Our company was established in 1968 when Ben and Muriel Berntt purchased Coyles Hardware, located at 555 Osborne Street, where Ben ran a small hardware and glass store. In the early 1970’s Ben moved to a larger location at 308 Morley Ave, with a crew of up to 7 employees. Ben’s brother-in-law, Bud Holohan, worked with Ben establishing Fort Rouge Plate & Auto Glass Ltd in sales. In 1979 Ben and Muriel’s son Terry, joined the business, after spending several years in the flooring business as a Manufacturer’s Representative of a leading flooring company. Terry’s knowledge of the Home Building industry became a valuable asset to Fort Rouge Plate & Auto Glass. The company began serving the leading Home Builders, for all their mirror and glass needs. Terry and Ben continued to expand the business over the years providing Winnipeg with quality products and service. In 1983 Fort Rouge Plate & Auto Glass expanded its operations to 380 Osborne Street. In the late 90’s Terry’s son, Brendan started to work part-time at the business. After spending time working on weekends with Ben and Terry, Brendan learned the family business from a very young age. Upon completion of his education at Red River College with a Business degree, he followed in his father and grandfather’s footsteps and joined the family business full-time in 2000. Brendan is now the President of Fort Rouge Glass. In 2008 Terry’s daughter Bronwyn Dobson joined the family business. In 2009, Fort Rouge Plate & Auto Glass Ltd changed its name to Fort Rouge Glass and developed a new corporate image. In 2018, FRG expanded further to a new location at 58 South Landing Drive. A custom-built facility to better service the continued demand of our Manitoba customers. Our company team looks forward to continuing our excellent customer service as our company continues to grow into the future.
