Acoustic Doors and Green Design
The story of AMBICO is one of success bred of hard work. Founded by brothers-in-law Israel Shinder and Emanuel Lightstone, AMBICO has grown from a family-run construction products business to an industry-leading specialized door company with a world-wide reputation as an innovator and leader. Predicting economic trends and their effects on a variety of industries, Israel and Emmanuel demonstrated foresight and flexibility. The fabrication of their “stock” doors led to a well-calculated move to the manufacture of highly specialized door products. Today, the world is our marketplace. Architects and engineers trust AMBICO to design and build the very precise doors needed for state-of-the-art hospitals, universities, banks, prison facilities, hotels, museums, and art galleries. These are doors that match craftsmanship with precision specifications.
