Ideal Supply has come a long way since its humble beginnings in the 1920s. Founded by Franklin Zurbrigg and George McDonald, the company began in 1926 as the Ideal Manufacturing Company, a maker of bread-moulding machines.

Today, Ideal Supply is an award-winning business. It has grown to become one of the largest wholesale distributors of automotive, electrical, and industrial products and services in the country. It has 30 branch locations in Southwestern Ontario, 450 employees and a 75,000-square-foot head office distribution centre, still in its hometown of Listowel. It became ISO 9001:2008 Certified in 1996 and for seven consecutive years has earned the highly-coveted designation as one of ‘Canada’s Best Managed Companies’. Its award-winning machine shops and strategic partnerships with more than 1,500 suppliers have positioned the company to provide the kinds of products, services and training programs its 10,000-plus customers depend on.
