VANCOUVER — Altus Engineered Products (AEP) has inked a new engineered wood supply deal with Taiga Building Products for all of its operating facilities across Canada. The national arrangement replaces last year’s regional supply arrangement for Eastern Canada.
Officials at Altus stated they expect the new deal will lead to significant cost savings. In addition, AEP believes the guaranteed lead times and reorder and delivery elements provided by the Taiga supply arrangement will make a significant impact on project schedules.
“Working with an experienced public company like Taiga, with operations across Canada and globally, allows AEP to execute its strategy to capitalize on economies of scale while maximizing efficiencies and price in our quest of becoming the building components supplier of choice,” said AEP CEO Dirk Maritz in a press release. “All of our current facilities across Canada will benefit from the certainty in supply and resulting cost savings.”
Taiga is wholesale distributor of building materials that operates 15 distribution centres in Canada, three distribution centres in the Western U.S. and six reload stations in the Eastern U.S.
“The seasonality of the construction industry has, in the past, resulted in supply and delivery challenges for all manufacturers of roof and floor trusses, wall panels, engineered wood, windows and doors,” explained AEP vice-president of operations Gurmit Dhaliwal. “This comprehensive approach to engineered wood supply will ensure we maximize our opportunities to expand our current markets and penetrate new geographies. We have been really successful growing our market share with engineered wood products in Western Canada. With our advanced design capabilities and this deal, we can now do the same across Canada.”
