65 Years of Excellence

The story of AMBICO is one of success bred of hard work. Founded by brothers-in-law Israel Shinder and Emanuel Lightstone, AMBICO has grown from a family-run construction products business to an industry-leading specialized door company with a world-wide reputation as an innovator and leader. Predicting economic trends and their effects on a variety of industries, Israel and Emmanuel demonstrated foresight and flexibility. The fabrication of their “stock” doors led to a well-calculated move to the manufacture of highly specialized door products. Today, the world is our marketplace. Architects and engineers trust AMBICO to design and build the very precise doors needed for state-of-the-art hospitals, banks, educational facilities, transportation facilities, Government and military buildings, hotels, museums, and art galleries. These are doors that match craftsmanship with precision specifications.

This family business has solidified its reputation for excellence under current President Jack Shinder, the son of co-founder Israel Shinder, and Vice-President Judah Silverman, the son-in-law of co-founder Emanuel Lightstone.


The Specialized Door Market

Today, our manufacturing facility in Ottawa, Canada, boasts the latest equipment, ensuring AMBICO’s expert technicians can meet large-volume contracts while also constructing every door with a meticulous eye for detail.

Designed for the specialized door market, the company’s cutting-edge commissions include Acoustic Steel & Wood Assemblies, Blast & Pressure Resistant Steel Assemblies, Brass & Bronze Clad Assemblies, Bullet Resistant Steel & Wood Assemblies, Flood Resistant Assemblies, Lead Lined Steel Assemblies, Oversized Steel Assemblies, Radio Frequency Steel Assemblies, Recessed Panel Steel Assemblies, Security Wood & Steel Assemblies, Stainless Steel Assemblies, and Tornado Resistant Assemblies.

“Our products are so far ahead of the market that many of our potential clients don’t believe the technology even exists,” says President Jack Shinder proudly.

That expertise has brought worldwide success. AMBICO exports directly, and also sells intellectual property globally through licensing agreements with qualified overseas manufacturers who construct our products based on AMBICO’s detailed designs and certifications.
