Added Brandy Cowart, executive vice president at Powell Valves: “We are very pleased to have found a good strategic partner in M.A. Stewart to fuel our Canadian business growth.”
M.A. Stewart & Sons is based in Surrey, British Columbia, with distribution centers in the provinces of Alberta, British Columbia, Ontario and Quebec. With such infrastructure already in place, M.A. Stewart & Sons will become Powell’s channel partner for the Canadian market.
M.A. Stewart will maintain a large Powell inventory in each of its distribution centers to support the day-to-day operations and capital-projects business. Additionally, M.A. Stewart will be the key driver of Canadian end-user and engineering approvals.
“The Canadian agreement with Powell is a significant investment for M.A. Stewart & Sons and enables us to supply a world-class manufacturer with a strong approved manufacturer list and end-user relationships,” John Makarchuk, executive vice president of sales and marketing at M.A. Stewart & Sons, said. “Powell’s $36 million U.S. inventory, along with its state-of-the-art modifications shop in Manning, S.C., will provide a quick turnaround for our customers in an industry that traditionally has required long lead times for shipping industrial valves. We are excited for what value this will bring to our Canadian customers.”
