Our Company History

Bakker Aluminum is a family-owned Canadian business based in London, ON, founded in 1962 by Peter Bakker. Known for its commitment to quality and customer service, the company flourished under Peter’s leadership. After his retirement in 1989, ownership passed to his daughter Betty and her husband John Vander Tuin, who had joined in 1974. Together, they expanded the business and solidified its strong presence in the community.

After John and Betty’s retirement in October 2024, the business transitioned to Brad Fournie and Kevin Vander Tuin, the son of Betty and John. This new generation of leadership continues the family legacy, focusing on delivering exceptional craftsmanship and maintaining the strong values of integrity and customer care that have been the cornerstone of Bakker Aluminum for over six decades. The company remains deeply committed to treating customers, suppliers, and staff with the utmost dignity and respect.

Our Community Involvement

At Bakker Aluminum, we are a team-oriented company—both with our customers and our staff. We see teams as families, and that’s how we approach our work. We work with families, we have families, and we hire team players who share our values of respect, care, and collaboration. This sense of unity strengthens our work and builds lasting relationships.

Giving back to the community that has supported us for over 60 years is a key part of who we are. We proudly sponsor the North Middlesex Stars (a local youth hockey team) and the London Lynx ringette team, encouraging healthy, active lifestyles for young athletes. We also take part in the Day in the Life Golf Tournament, helping raise funds for meaningful local causes. These efforts reflect our commitment to making a positive impact—on the job and in the community.
