Madico announced in August 2019 that it had acquired Courage Distributing and Window Film Systems’ distribution operations, creating Madico Canada. It planned to operate Courage’s locations in Oakville, Ontario, and Richmond, British Columbia, as manufacturer-owned service centers.
Courage, founded in 1993, supplied window film, paint protection film and accessories. Madico said Courage employees would join the new entity, with Todd and Trent Courage taking operations and sales leadership roles.
Window Film Systems’ installation division was to maintain its relationship with Madico, while owner Peter Yates continued working with dealers. That distinction limits the deal’s reported scope: the announcement does not establish that Madico bought the entire installation business.
Madico’s page displays August 5, but its release dateline says August 6. The exact closing date and purchase price were not disclosed.
