TIMBER MART Expands LBM Distribution Network Into Ontario

TIMBER MART is expanding their Lumber and Building Material (LBM) Distribution Centre network into Ontario with the addition of a five-acre property in Mount Forest. The facility is conveniently located within a six-hour radius of a multitude of TIMBER MART member locations and will offer a wide selection of LBM products, weekly deliveries, cross-docking/furtherance service and easy access for dealers looking to pick up their orders.

“Our new distribution centre in Ontario will offer our members all of the conveniences that our existing facilities provide and that our members in B.C., Quebec and New Brunswick currently enjoy,” says Bernie Owens, president of TIMBER MART. “We look forward to opening the new facility in January of 2019 and providing our dealers with a great source of LBM products and competitive advantage in their local markets.”

TIMBER MART’s Mount Forest distribution centre is located at 555 Perth Street in Mount Forest, Ont. It will be the third facility the buying group operates and will represent a significant expansion of their current distribution-centre network which consists of their facility in Langley, British Columbia and another in St-Nicolas, Quebec. The group will be looking to hire approximately 25 new staff for the facility in the Mount Forest area and surrounding communities when fully operational.
