New Location to Offer Expanded LBM Assortments to TIMBER MART Members and Customers
TIMBER MART announced today that they will relocate from their distribution centre in Surrey, B.C., which has been bought outright, to a new facility at 5671 Production Way in Langley, B.C. The facility will house an expanded offering of lumber and building-material (LBM) products exclusively, while Orgill hardline products will be cross-docked in Langley from Orgill’s new facility in Post Falls, Idaho once the move is complete in January 2017. The new distribution centre encompasses an office space, over 27,000 square feet of warehouse space and a three-acre yard.
"Our new LBM TIMBER MART distribution centre will provide us with greater square footage to house LBM products, as well as a more suitable and cost-effective distribution solution for our members in B.C.," says Bernie Owens, president of TIMBER MART. "The new facility will continue to provide great competitive advantage to our membership in the province and I thank them for their feedback and input in selecting the new location."
TIMBER MART currently operates two distribution facilities; the current facility in Surrey houses both LBM and Orgill hardline products, and another in St-Nicolas, Que. which offers LBM products exclusively. By January 2017, TIMBER MART’s distribution network will be comprised of LBM distribution only via the facility in Langley, B.C. and current LBM distribution centre in St-Nicolas, Que.
