Press Release – For Immediate Distribution
Surrey, BC, July 21, 2020 – Convoy Supply, a North American leader in the distribution of construction materials, is pleased to announce the opening of a new site in Kitchener, Ontario.
The 45,000 SF facility is located on 5.35 acres and is Convoy’s largest greenfield build to date, boasting 5000 SF of showroom and office space. The building was designed and engineered by Gateman-Milloy, Witzel Dyce and WalterFedy, and built by general contractor Gateman-Milloy. Convoy’s new Kitchener location was purpose-built as a full-service distribution center, stocking product specified for use in roofing, waterproofing, insulation, and wall cladding, manufactured by North America’s finest companies within the construction industry.
The new tri-cities facility, centrally located 5 minutes off the Conestoga Parkway, will provide easy access for loading and unloading of large vehicles, with multiple orders handled simultaneously. The expansive inventory of products will ensure faster service times for pick-up and delivery throughout the region. Branch Manager Cory Roberts and Convoy Kitchener’s team are excited to build on more than 20 years of customer service in the region.
“This new building is custom-designed for our business with function in mind, but it’s also beautiful! It’s so bright, it’s like being in the outdoors,” said Doug Brown, General Manager, Convoy GTA & Ontario West. “We are thrilled to bring customers into this new space as we continue our commitment to go over and above in serving the Kitchener-Waterloo region. The Convoy team did amazing work from the original branch with all its limitations, so I’m excited to see the positive impact of this move.”
