Are IKO shingles made in Canada?

Yes, IKO shingles are made in Canada, and IKO is one of the few major roofing shingle manufacturers that is actually Canadian-owned and Canadian-made, which is a point of pride for the company. IKO was founded in 1951 in Calgary, Alberta, and is headquartered in Brampton, Ontario, where it operates a large manufacturing plant that produces asphalt shingles for the Canadian and US markets. IKO operates several plants in Canada including Brampton, Ontario, Hawkesbury, Ontario, and other locations, as well as plants in the United States in places like Wilmington, Delaware, Hillsboro, Texas, and Sylacauga, Alabama, plus plants in Europe. The Canadian plants produce popular IKO lines such as Cambridge, Dynasty, Marathon, and Nordic shingles, with formulations specifically designed for Canadian winters including modified asphalt for flexibility at minus 20 Celsius, heavy granule embedment for wind resistance up to 130 mph, and bilingual English and French packaging meeting CSA A123.5 standards. IKO shingles made in Canada are labeled Made in Canada and are widely available across Canada at Home Depot Canada, Lowe's Canada, RONA, and roofing distributors. Because IKO is family-owned and Canadian, it is often recommended by Canadian contractors who want to support Canadian jobs and manufacturing while getting shingles tested for harsh Canadian climate conditions.
