Solving Problems since 1995
For more than 25 years, BAUCO has been designing and manufacturing architectural access panel and air grille solutions. We’re based in Victoria, BC, Canada, just north of Seattle, and last year we manufactured and shipped more than 60,000 access panels to jobsites around North America, Central America, and the Caribbean. We offer industry-leading products and services, and half of our work is repeat business from satisfied customers.
From entrepreneurial beginnings in basements, attics, and a garage, to our current offices and manufacturing facilities with 70 staff and counting, our people make BAUCO the company it is today.
Great teamwork doesn’t happen by accident. We build our BAUCO community through regular events and activities, by collaborating across departments, updating and informing through the internal newsletter, and never missing an opportunity to share gratitude and appreciation
Culture
We value the people who choose to work with us. We celebrate their unique spirits and talents, and work hard to help them develop professionally.
BAUCO Cares
At BAUCO, we embrace a philosophy of caring. To us, that means looking out for the well-being of our co-workers, our neighbourhood, and our city in everything we do. This helps us to consistently steer toward positive outcomes, while building stronger relationships.
‘BAUCO Cares’ is at the heart of our success and longevity as a business. We believe this approach creates a happier, healthier work environment, and a better community.
BAUCO Academy
BAUCO Academy is our internal education process. The goal of the Academy is to train our team to a level of fluency in understanding our products, the industry, and our customers’ needs. It also promotes agility with our business tools, and confidence and pride in our skills.
BAUCO Academy gives our team the tools they need to help our clients succeed. What is embodied carbon? What’s new in wall and ceiling construction technology? How can we better understand our customer’s challenges? We are constantly expanding the scope of BAUCO Academy to provide our team with knowledge and understanding of these areas and countless others that affect our operations.
