What AMRE Supply does

AMRE Supply is a Canadian e-commerce and physical retail distributor of appliance parts and facility maintenance products, founded in 1968 and headquartered in Edmonton, Alberta. The company sells OEM replacement parts for all major appliance brands (Frigidaire, GE, Kenmore, LG, Maytag, Samsung, Whirlpool) alongside a broad catalog spanning 16 categories including plumbing, HVAC, electrical, janitorial, hardware, lighting, motors, paint, safety, tools, and seasonal supplies. AMRE serves a dual B2B/B2C customer base: professional contractors, facility managers, and wholesale businesses access wholesale pricing and credit accounts through a dedicated B2B program, while homeowners and DIY repair customers purchase individual parts at retail pricing.

The business operates through a multi-channel model combining a transactional e-commerce platform (with part-number/model-number lookup tools, clearance and deals sections, and email marketing) with 12 physical branch locations across Canada spanning Western Canada (Vancouver, Coquitlam, Richmond, Victoria, Edmonton, Calgary, Saskatoon), Central Canada (Winnipeg, Mississauga, Ottawa, Scarborough, Toronto), and Eastern Canada (Laval, Montreal, Quebec City, Dartmouth). Logistics capabilities include same-day shipping on orders placed before 4pm local time, express in-store pickup at all 12 locations, and a 30-day return policy. The wholesale channel is supported by credit applications and accounts receivable services shared with distribution partner Reliable Parts.

AMRE's revenue model is primarily transactional, based on product markup on OEM parts and supplies sourced from major manufacturers, augmented by wholesale pricing tiers and business account credit terms. The company has no disclosed funding rounds, no public market listing, and is privately held. Its competitive positioning rests on three pillars: a multi-decade OEM parts catalog across all major appliance brands, a coast-to-coast Canadian physical distribution footprint that combines branch retail with same-day fulfillment, and a partnership-enabled shared-services arrangement with Reliable Parts. The company does not disclose any AI/ML capabilities, proprietary software platforms, or API products in the source materials, indicating a traditional distribution operating model with incremental e-commerce and digital tooling rather than a technology-led approach.

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• W.W. Grainger: Largest industrial distribution company in North America, offering more than 1.5 million MRO products. A broad incumbent that competes with AMRE in facility-maintenance categories but serves a much wider industrial customer base beyond AMRE's contractor focus.
• Canadian Tire: Iconic Canadian retailer offering hardware, automotive, tools, and household maintenance products. Competes with AMRE in adjacent maintenance categories from a mass-market consumer position rather than a specialist contractor focus.
• Home Depot Canada: Major Canadian home improvement retailer with Pro Xtra program targeting contractors. Competes with AMRE across appliance parts, plumbing, HVAC, electrical, and tools categories with larger assortment and brand-driven pricing power.
• RONA (Lowe's Canada): Canadian home improvement retailer owned by Lowe's, operating ~400 stores across Canada. Competes with AMRE in hardware, plumbing, electrical, and tools for both DIY consumers and trade professionals.

Direct peers

• Reliable Parts: Trusted channel partner of AMRE Supply with shared accounts-receivable and service infrastructure across Canada. Operates as a direct appliance parts distributor serving the same contractor and homeowner segments with overlapping OEM brand coverage.
• Johnstone Supply: North America's largest cooperative HVAC wholesaler serving contractors with refrigeration, heating, and air-conditioning parts. Comparable in target customer (HVAC contractors) and wholesale distribution model, though focused exclusively on HVAC versus AMRE's broader maintenance assortment.
• Winsupply: US-based cooperative wholesale distributor serving plumbing, HVAC, and industrial contractors through local branches. Comparable in business model (wholesale distribution to contractors with credit terms and account programs) and customer segment (professional trades).
• Acklands-Grainger: Canadian subsidiary of W.W. Grainger serving industrial and commercial customers with maintenance, repair, and operating supplies. Direct competitor in the Canadian MRO distribution space with overlapping facility-maintenance customer base and branch network.

Regional players

• Princess Auto: Canadian retailer of tools, equipment, and supplies serving trades, contractors, and industrial customers. Comparable in Canadian geographic focus and customer segment, with overlap in tools, material handling, and general hardware categories.

Emerging players

• Amazon Business: Growing e-commerce platform serving business customers with broad assortment of maintenance, repair, and operations supplies. Increasingly relevant competitive threat to AMRE's online B2B offering, though lacking physical branch pickup and specialty parts expertise.
