Graybar

 

Dec 14, 2018

The 90,000 sq./ft facility is Graybar Canada’s largest branch and consolidates the Markham and Mississauga locations. To continue to serve the Mississauga area customers, Graybar Canada will be opening a counter pick-up location at 160 Brunel Road in early 2019.

“We’re very excited to open a new Graybar Canada branch in Vaughan,” says Brian Thomas, executive vice president and general manager. “The new facility is conveniently located and gives us better access to serve new and current customers. With our electrical, comm/data and automation specialists under one roof, we’re able to strengthen our ability to provide turnkey solutions.”

Located near Highway 427 and 407, Graybar Canada Vaughan features a wire paralleling machine, a modern counter area and a large training room to host educational seminars on-site. “With our industry becoming more cohesive every day, it’s important we have a dedicated space to educate our staff and customers about new technologies,” says Thomas. “Our product knowledge, expertise and superior customer service are what set Graybar Canada apart from the competition.”

An official grand opening for the new Vaughan branch will be scheduled in the spring.

Graybar Canada’s existing Mississauga counter at 5895 Whittle Road will remain open to serve customers until the move into the Brunel Road facility in early 2019.
