MISSISSAUGA, ON & MONTREAL, QC – Engineered Assemblies (EA), one of Canada’s leading specialists in high-performance building envelope systems, is pleased to announce a strategic partnership with JB Bell Building Material Sourcing Solutions in Quebec. Through this collaboration, JB Bell will become Engineered Assemblies’ primary partner serving the Quebec market, bringing together two organizations that share a passion for technical expertise, collaboration, and exceptional client service.
While both companies have built strong reputations independently, the partnership represents something greater than expanded geographic coverage - it combines two organizations whose strengths naturally complement one another throughout every stage of a project’s lifecycle.
Engineered Assemblies has spent nearly two decades helping architects, owners, and contractors realize innovative façade designs through technical design assistance, building envelope expertise, and industry-leading rear-ventilated rainscreen systems. Founded on the belief of “uniting the house of design with the field of construction,” EA has earned a reputation for partnering with project teams from concept through completion.
JB Bell brings more than 25 years of experience in procurement, engineering coordination, fabrication, and material sourcing, providing comprehensive building envelope solutions supported by global manufacturing relationships and local accountability. Their expertise in navigating complex material supply chains makes them a trusted partner for construction professionals seeking dependable solutions without compromising quality or performance.
Together, the two organizations create a seamless experience for Quebec’s architectural and construction community.
Architects and specification writers gain access to expanded technical resources, deeper product knowledge, and collaborative design support early in the design process. General contractors benefit from coordinated project delivery, responsive local service, and confidence that both technical performance and procurement are aligned from specification through installation.
More importantly, clients will work with teams that share the same philosophy: successful buildings are created through partnership - not simply product supply.
“The strongest partnerships are built when companies bring different strengths to the table while sharing the same values,” said John Kubassek, Founder and CEO of Engineered Assemblies. “JB Bell understands the importance of technical collaboration, responsive service, and delivering solutions that help project teams succeed. Together, we’re creating an even stronger resource for Quebec’s architectural community.”
Ramzi Jalbout, Founder of JB Bell, added:
“Our mission has always been to connect clients with high-quality building envelope solutions backed by dependable service and technical expertise. Partnering with Engineered Assemblies allows us to combine our strengths and provide architects, consultants, and contractors throughout Quebec with a higher level of support from the earliest design conversations through project completion.”
The partnership reflects the growing complexity of today’s building envelope systems, where successful projects require more than quality materials alone. They demand technical knowledge, coordinated engineering, responsive logistics, and trusted relationships between manufacturers, suppliers, architects, and contractors.
By combining Engineered Assemblies’ recognized expertise in façade systems with JB Bell’s procurement, engineering, and material sourcing capabilities, the partnership creates a stronger regional presence designed to support Quebec’s evolving architectural landscape.
Whether working on institutional, commercial, healthcare, educational, or mixed-use developments, project teams throughout Quebec can now rely on an expanded network of professionals committed to helping bring ambitious designs to life.
