Gillfor Distribution and IKO Industries Announce Sales and Distribution Partnership

Gillfor Distribution and IKO Industries are excited to announce a multi-year national sales and distribution partnership that will extend our ability to service our independent LBM retail customers. This new partnership consolidates Gillfor Distribution’s extensive shingle and roofing product segment across Canada in order to work exclusively with Canada’s #1 shingle manufacturer and brand.

“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, VP of Business Development.

“IKO is looking forward to partnering with Gillfor Distribution,” said Rob Davidson, Vice President of Residential Sales for Canada. “Their national scope, excellent team and vast experience in our industry will provide tremendous value.
