Overview

The Canaplus Limited Partnership is a buying group organized to provide support to Canadian distributors of plumbing, heating and related products. Those distributors are identified hereafter as beneficiaries or members.

The administration office is based in Toronto, Ontario. The Limited Partnership structure was established in 1995. It previously operated as Canaplus Inc., following a merger in 1988 of two buying groups, namely P & H Wholesalers Limited and Mapco Inc.

Since 1995, the purchases of the group have grown significantly, helping its beneficiaries improve their competitiveness, as well as improving the market share of its suppliers. With this continued growth, Canaplus purchasing programs have consistently improved, providing even greater advantages to its beneficiaries. Canaplus values the relationships that have been developed with its many suppliers. Also, its beneficiaries recognize the importance of a true partnership between suppliers and distribution, in working together to grow market share. The group is now working in close relationship with more than 110 approved vendors. As a buying group, Canaplus' purchases are above all plumbing, heating and waterworks products.

Canaplus is made up of 31 beneficiaries across Canada. Those beneficiaries are collectively operating over 200 sales points coast to coast.

As Canaplus continues to grow and develop new segments, its main goal will always remain the same: to meet the needs of its beneficiaries by giving them the opportunity to choose from a number of suppliers. This allows them to sell the products their customers want, and to be competitive in their respective market.
