RONA ends relationship with Matériaux Pont Masson as dealer makes move to BMR

Matériaux Pont-Masson is moving its seven stores to BMR’s banner. Founded in 1979 by Monique and Richard Bailey, Matériaux Pont-Masson serves Quebec (Mirabel, Rigaud, Roxboro, Sainte-Clotilde-de-Châteauguay, and Valleyfield) and eastern Ontario (Alfred and Casselman). Its stores have been under the RONA banner for nearly 35 years. The transition takes effect Aug. 11.

In a release, Matériaux Pont-Masson president Éric Bailey said he was seeking to enhance the business’s offerings. “As a major player in the hardware industry in Quebec and Canada, BMR represents for Matériaux Pont-Masson an outstanding business partner to ensure the continuity of our success,” he said.

In an email, a Lowe’s Canada spokesperson said that they have collaborative business relationships with its dealers where the priority is the mutual success of the parties involved. For its part, Lowe’s Canada reiterated its ongoing commitment to its independent affiliates.

“I am very pleased to see Éric Bailey and the entire Matériaux Pont-Masson team join the ranks of Groupe BMR, a decision that Éric has carefully considered over the past few years,” said Alexandre Lefebvre, CEO of BMR Group.
