BRAMPTON, Ontario — Seventy years ago, the world may have looked quite different from today, but what has remained consistent is a need for quality products to provide shelter and protection from the elements. That’s what drove IKO founder Isidore Koschitzky to go into business in 1951, and it’s what drives the company as it celebrates its 70th anniversary.
Still family-owned and -operated, IKO is a pioneer and leader in the roofing, waterproofing and insulation products industries. Its asphalt shingles, low-slope roofing membranes and numerous other offerings can be found on buildings in North America as well as around the world. But it all started with a single product.
