Alexandria Moulding was established as a small retail building supply store in 1943 by its founder Mr. Rolland Cholette . In 1948, the company expanded to include the manufacture of Window Sashes and Doors. It added interior wood moldings to its catalog in 1952. After a devastating fire in 1955, the management decided to discontinue the building supplies trade and concentrate on manufacturing. Moulure Alexandria was incorporated under the laws of the Province of Ontario as Alexandria Sash & Door CO., Limited in September 1955.
Rolland's two sons, Guy Cholette and Ronald, joined the company as Vice President and President, respectively. They occupied these positions until their retirement on October 31, 1997. While rebuilding the company, they decided to concentrate the entire operation exclusively on the production of wood moldings. The company's top products include Peg Board ,Lumber ,Fiberboard , andCasing , to name a few.
In 1989, Alexandria Mo lding Inc.'s expansion plans led to the building of a plant in Moxee , WA, which became operational in April 1990. On February 27, 1998, the companies were registered as Moulure Alexandria Moulding Inc. On November 1, 1997, the company's operations were taken over by the third generation and are presently under the control of Andre, Richard, Jacques, and Pierre Cholette . Alexandria has a 68,300 squa re feet warehouse facility located in LaPorte , Indiana. It became the company's second Distribution Centre when it opened for business on March 29, 2005. The increasing demands for space resulted in the construction of a 220,000-square feet ultra-modern distribution center in Alexandria, Ontario.
