Gillfor Distribution partners with IKO Industries
Gillfor Distribution and IKO Industries have entered a multi-year national sales and distribution partnership that will extend the companies’ ability to service independent LBM retail customers. The partnership consolidates Gillfor’s shingle and roofing product segment across Canada in order to work exclusively with IKO.
“This agreement aligns well with many of our customers’ buying preferences and supports our mission of partnering with best-in-class vendors to support our customers from coast to coast. This represents one of the final pieces in our series of national product line reviews and is truly an exciting step forward for Gillfor Distribution, our account managers, and the customers they serve,” says Mike Schneider, vice-president of business development at Gillfor.
“IKO looks forward to partnering with Gillfor Distribution,” says Rob Davidson, vice-president of residential sales for Canada at IKO. “Their national scope, excellent team, and vast experience in our industry will provide tremendous value. We also appreciate that they share our family values with their integrity and long-term approach to growing their business. We believe this agreement will tremendously benefit both IKO, Gillfor, and our customers for many years to come.”
