How It Started
A wise person once said, "No matter how far you travel, you will always return home." They weren't wrong. After growing up on a farm, we couldn't wait to leave it and start our life as young adults. The smells, the noises, the responsibilities, THE WORK ... All put behind us. After decades of being away from farm life, it happened. Our children's passion for horses brought us full circle back to farm life, at first co-boarding horses at neighbouring farms, then, owning their own equine friends. This new ownership sent us looking for hard-to-find quality equine and farm products. Genuine help and straightforward, honest information were scarce when first owning a horse, or two, or three, or … ???? (horse people get this joke!) ...
HOW WE GOT HERE FROM THERE
While the west coast and USA have access to high-quality animal handling products, Eastern Canada faces challenges in acquiring such products. Structural integrity, fit, and finish issues are prevalent in many of the available products, with light materials and poor welds causing safety hazards for animals. This experience has led to the development of our core mission statement.
"To continuously raise the standard for quality and innovation in the Canadian livestock industry by sourcing the finest products from around the world and supplying them to Canadians."
Contacting the manufacturers of these products revealed a need for them to get their products to Eastern Canada. Our entrepreneurial spirit kicked into high gear, and we went to work to see if there was a solution to the problem. After a bunch of research and analysis, we found that no one was operating in this niche. Canada East Supply & Distribution Inc. was officially born. We immediately decided to build a "little website,” which went viral very quickly, confirming what we saw in our research. Who knew so many people were just as tired as we were with the readily available inferior products that have flooded the Canadian marketplace and were looking for alternative, quality items? The website grew, and our business grew.
Canada East Supply and Distribution Inc. has undergone a significant transformation from an Eastern Canadian distributor only to a Canada-wide distributor, adapting and rebranding itself to "Livestock Equipment Canada." The company's growth was fueled by the establishment of a niche online e-commerce space that has "stores", enabling smaller feed and tack stores to access products and venture into e-commerce affordably. This evolution reflects the company's commitment to expanding its reach and providing quality products in the livestock industry.
