Ultimate Windows
Ultimate Windows began life as a builder and his son fabricating commercial window frames in an outer-Wodonga old tin farm shed in 2001 in an effort to keep his local building projects moving to schedule. A few years later, the decision to fabricate the Thermeco suite of products and invest in state of the art software and machinery was made and Ultimate Windows was born.
Over the years Ultimate Windows grown to specialise in energy efficient uPVC windows and employ over 50 staff with all manufacturing in Wodonga and showrooms, sales staff and installation teams in both Melbourne (Bundoora) and Canberra, ACT.
