Orgill Spring Dealer Market
During the last week of February, the Orgill market took over the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando as thousands of independent hardware retailers gathered to see the latest and greatest that Orgill had to offer. Over 225 Castle members and staff (representing an incredible 105 Castle Building Centre locations from across Canada) attended as Orgill continues to gain momentum as the Canadian Independent’s "One-Stop Hardware Solution" and continue to expand their Canadian Compliant offering with over 50,000 Canadian compliant SKUs and continued growth within their Canadian customer support services commitment.
This year’s feature exhibit was the new 14,000 sq. ft Kodiak Trail Hardware & Supply, a completely Canadian Compliant store, which is almost double the size of the Windsor Falls model featured in 2013 and displays the most comprehensive assortment of Canadian compliant SKUs ever displayed at the Orgill market.
"The number of Canada flags featured on our product displays has become so impressive in the last three years that soon there will be no need for differentiation. Vendors are motivated and willing to do what it takes to become Canadian Compliant", commented Ron Beal, President of Orgill.
This past year, Orgill also launched their North American e-commerce platform "Boost" which includes a complete e-catalogue of Orgill products and leading edge eCommerce software that enables Independents to add, price and manage hardware and other LBM products in a fully-functional online store within their own existing website. Many Castle locations have already taken advantage of this leading edge eCommerce solution.
Orgill’s commitment to the Canadian Independent as a leading edge hardware solution was solidified almost one year ago with the grand opening of their very first Canadian Distribution Centre in Mississauga, ON. Having this distribution centre on Canadian soil has helped to bridge the gap and provide Canadian Independents with nationwide single source procurement.
