In January 1950, Wilbur Berger established Monarch Glass on Rachel Street in Montreal, providing quality custom mirror and glasswork for both retail stores and the home. Understanding that there was more business with glass, Monarch started manufacturing and then diversified to importing mirrors and frames.

In 1965 Monarch Glass got the very lucrative contract of manufacturing frames for the Expo and renamed itself Monarch Specialties Inc. During this time, they moved the import operations to a larger location to increase their import business and to use their extensive glass knowledge to manufacture small furniture such as tables, TV stands etc.

By 1980 they were manufacturing their own Ready-to-assemble wood furniture, which is now located in Alexandria, Ontario and kept expanding our operations. In 1997 they increased their import volume and largely widened and diversified Monarch’s product catalogue to the impressive size it is today. Today they carry an array of products from bedroom, living room, accent furniture, home office and many more categories. Monarch is a leader in the furniture import and distribution business. Their fashion forward designed products, stellar service and great quality make us a true value in the home furnishings industry.
