Our Team

Aluminum Associates is a leader in the exterior home improvement industry not only because we offer quality products and outstanding customer service, but also because we have assembled a wonderful team of experienced employees who contribute enormously to our ongoing success. We are fortunate to have quite a few staff members who have been with the company for 10, 15, even 20 years. Their experience is invaluable to the operation of the company and the service we offer our customers. As with any company, however, we also regularly have a number of new faces join us - individuals who bring fresh outlooks, ideas, and energy. As a team, they represent the best of both worlds.

Ian Low – President and General Manager
Owner of Aluminum Associates, Ian can remember accompanying his father (the company`s founder) to work and on business expeditions, when he was just five or six years old. In fact, he can`t recall a time when Aluminum Associates was not a part of his life. With virtually a lifetime of experience in the exterior home improvement industry, there is hardly a duty or task he has not performed. As a leader, the knowledge and skills that he learned as he progressed is invaluable.

Doug Brunton – Operations Manager
As Operations Manager, Doug is tasked with ensuring the highest standards of customer satisfaction at Aluminum Associates. Serving as the Installation Manger for Aluminum Associates for greater than
a decade, he ensured that his crews had the training, tools, and materials needed to complete each job effectively and efficiently. Doug`s extensive experience in customer service and his attention to detail are just some of the many skills that make him an excellent trainer and manager.

Brian Rowe – Installed Sales Representative
Recognized for his professional yet inviting manner, Brian has been with Aluminum Associates since 1990. He began in a warehouse position but quickly advanced to sales, where he was able to use his product knowledge to assist his customers in selecting the right product for their application. Customers who regularly refer their friends and neighbours to Brian appreciate his straightforward approach and easy-going nature.

Pulling orders and delivering products to job sites, including the on-site fabrication of seamless eavestrough, is a regular part of the routine for members of our warehouse / delivery team. They also have the skills to fabricate custom bending orders and aluminum shutters, complete screen repairs, and assemble custom railings.
