News & Events

The global economy is slowly recovering from cyclical lows, but growth has lagged most other recoveries on persistent public sector deficits that have depressed business and consumer confidence and slowed private sector job growth. We are also seeing significant price inflation in our polypropylene, polyethylene, and rubber based products, which along with higher fuel prices, has pushed up construction product costs in slow markets. 

Luckily, western Canada construction markets have been relatively strong (especially compared to some of our US branch areas). This has enabled us to continue to invest in the people, products and infrastructure that it takes to Help Build Your Success by being both Your Source for construction materials and Your Resource for the know-how and problem solving that comes from 57 years of construction industry experience.
