Roy Lamont

President

Throughout 30 years of experience in the glazing and construction industry, Roy recognized a niche for a Canadian owned and operated glass hardware company. Canada needed a company that recognized the importance of strong aesthetic design with the flexibility to respond and create unique products/solutions for specialized projects. Roy’s naturally creative instinct kicked in, and in building on his background of various roles within the construction and glazing industry, he created Stella Custom Glass Hardware in 2001. He then made his number one priority to form a collaborative and intelligent team committed to design and innovation, pushing the design envelope whenever possible. Stella has become a company of passionate professionals who are consistently discovering new technologies and trends. They care about design excellence, each other and successful projects!

Today, Roy is involved in projects at a conceptual stage, working collaboratively with architects, engineers, and glazing contractors at the outset to create the framework for outstanding structurally glazed systems.
