Much-Anticipated “de La Fontaine” Hollow Metal Catalog is Now in General Release


AVAware is pleased to announce that the much-anticipated release of Canadian manufacturer de La Fontaine Industries is now available to all AVAproject users.


Though officially released on January 9, 2017 at the request of de La Fontaine, users will notice it carries a “2016” revision date. This is because the catalog was initially created earlier last year and made available in select markets on a limited release basis. This was largely due to the fact that this most recent revision was completely redesigned by de La Fontaine, to be more concise than its predecessors and reflective of all their current product offerings.

Originally known as “G & R de La Fontaine” (named for its founders), they are a family run business in the truest sense of the term. Several generations of the de La Fontaine family have lead the successful hollow metal manufacturer from their headquarters in Sherbrooke, Quebec. AVAware has had the pleasure of working with the last two generations, since the release of our first AVAproject-compatible de La Fontaine catalog in 1997.

The latest release of the de La Fontaine catalog is made even more special by the active role taken by de La Fontaine in its creation. Being AVAproject users themselves, individuals at de La Fontaine were able to review each and every aspect of the new catalog, ensuring it met their high standards. Working with them, AVAware developers created an exceptional version of their catalog - fully automating each and every pricing nuance it contains.


AVAproject users interested in adding the de La Fontaine catalog to their subscription package may do so by contacting AVAware Support.
