About CP Distributors
Since its inception in 1962, CP Distributors Ltd. has been a steadfast pillar in the construction industry, starting as a modest specialty distributor in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. Under the stewardship of Ken Suppes and Martin Scobie, who acquired the company in 1972, CP Distributors embarked on a journey of growth and diversification.
Our Company
Our Journey and Evolution
CP Distributors Ltd. was incorporated in 1962 in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan as a small construction specialty distributor, supplying specialty building products to the construction industry. In 1972, Ken Suppes and Martin Scobie purchased CP Distributors and over the years expanded the business to more fully serve customers in the commercial, healthcare, institutional, hospitality, multi-family and industrial sectors. In 2004, management and ownership was transferred to Scott Suppes, Kevin Suppes, and Gerald Haller. Today CP Distributors continues to build on both the old and the new leadership commitment to quality in products and service.
Over the years CP Distributors has expanded geographically and in addition to our Saskatoon location which includes corporate headquarters, we now have locations in Regina, Edmonton, Calgary, Surrey and Halifax. Each of our locations has their own warehouse, fabrication shop, fleet of service vehicles, customer service and project coordination teams.
