We Are All About Innovation. Clearly.

The original company Beckett-Laycock-Watkinson (known as Beclawat) began its proud history in England back in 1912. Beclawat built a strong reputation on the design and manufacture of windows for the transportation industry, eventually expanding its presence globally into Australia, South Africa, Sweden, India, Italy, and Canada. Later moving to Montreal, Quebec in 1934, and then on to Belleville, Ontario in 1976, where it remains today.

In 2005, Beclawat Manufacturing Inc. was acquired by Prelco, a Quebec‑based company specializing in value‑added glass transformation for the architectural, industrial, and recreational boat markets. Beclawat then became the fifth manufacturing facility within the Prelco Group.

In 2017, Beclawat celebrated a milestone 105 years in business. Its success is attributed not only to the principles of craftsmanship and quality that have been the foundation of the company since the beginning, but also on its long-standing customer partnerships and talented group of employees.

As part of the Prelco Group’s evolution, Beclawat Manufacturing Inc. became Prelco Industrial Inc. in 2026. Today, Beclawat is Prelco’s industrial brand, embodying decades of expertise and delivering durable, high‑performance glass solutions for industrial needs.
