About McLaren Doors
McLaren Doors is a North American manufacturer of roll-up truck doors for commercial vehicles, serving fleets, OEMs, and upfitters with lightweight, corrosion-resistant door systems designed for real-world freight applications.
Founded in 2013 by Stewart McLaren, the company was built on experience in the material handling industry through Almac Conveyor Systems. Recognizing an opportunity to improve how roll-up doors perform in demanding environments, McLaren Doors entered the freight sector with a focus on solving practical challenges such as weight reduction, corrosion resistance, and day-to-day usability.
To accelerate its development, McLaren Doors acquired Roador, a roll-up door manufacturer with a similar objective. Following the acquisition, the company reassessed the existing product lines and shifted direction toward improving long-term durability, serviceability, and overall product performance.
A focused engineering effort followed, with designs reworked, tested, and refined through hands-on trials. The approach emphasized real-world performance—ensuring products function reliably under the conditions fleets and operators face every day.
Today, McLaren Doors supports customers across North America with roll-up door systems built for commercial trucks, including dry freight and temperature-controlled applications. As an active member of the NTEA – The Work Truck Association, the company remains aligned with evolving industry standards, while its involvement with the Toronto Transportation Club helps maintain strong connections within the broader transportation community.
McLaren Doors continues to focus on practical, functional innovation—developing products that reduce downtime, improve reliability, and meet the demands of modern freight transportation.
