TORBSA is merging with AD Canada (Affiliated Distributors), a contractor and wholesale buying group, under an agreement newly announced by the two groups. The merger, expected to close July 1, will create a new division: AD Canada – Building Supplies. TORBSA president Paul Williams (pictured) will head the division while reporting to AD Canada president Rob Dewar. Three additional TORBSA employees will join the AD team.
“The decision to align our business with AD was one that was scrutinized thoroughly,” Williams said in a release. “AD brings decades of experience, strong leadership throughout the organization, with strong business ethics and core values that align with our own. Their scale and expertise across North America give us the strength to compete and succeed in an ever-changing marketplace.”
