What Gregg Distributors does

Gregg Distributors LP is a 100% Canadian-owned industrial supply distributor founded in 1968 and headquartered in Edmonton, Alberta. The company operates 26 branch locations across Western Canada, serving industrial, agricultural, automotive, and heavy truck sectors with over 200,000 SKUs spanning 29+ categories including abrasives, fasteners, hydraulics, welding, safety, MRO, material handling, and work wear. Its flagship offering is the 2026 Product Catalogue and greggdistributors.ca e-commerce storefront, supplemented by a B2B ordering platform (Amador iPart web portal) and the MiPart mobile apps on Android and iOS.

The company's core technology stack consists of a Microsoft Azure-hosted storefront with Azure Front Door CDN, the third-party Amador iPart/MiPart ordering platform, and a proprietary Hose Shop backed by custom-built hydrostatic pressure testing equipment rated to 40,000 psi with hose assembly capability up to 12 inches at Edmonton Main. Gregg holds Continental Star-Certified Assembler and Industrial Fluid Solutions Elite Distributor certifications and operates engineered crimping systems from Continental, Aeroquip, Manuli, and Campbell, paired with Ultra-Clean Technologies contamination elimination. The 'Heads Up for Hosers' in-house training program, published as a YouTube series, develops and certifies hose technicians — a specialized workforce in distribution. Gregg carries the Best Managed Companies Platinum Member designation and markets 1,346 Canadian-made SKUs across 236 categories through a dedicated procurement portal.

Gregg's business model combines transactional product sales across the 200,000+ SKU catalogue with account-based credit sales (six-digit Bill To Customer Numbers settled via online bill pay, Interac e-Transfer, EFT/ACH, or wire), inside sales, and Gregg Managed Inventory (GMI) — a recurring on-site stock replenishment service for industrial accounts. Go-to-market spans counter sales and walk-in Hose Express Service Counters across 26 branches, self-serve e-commerce, mobile ordering through MiPart, and field-based account management for enterprise customers. Pricing is negotiated per account and not publicly disclosed; private-label brands (Propel Lubricants, GDL signage) and certified hose assembly services provide margin uplift beyond standard distribution. The customer base is horizontally diversified across SMB and mid-market industrial buyers, tradespeople, oilfield/heavy-duty hose customers, and Canadian-procurement-mandated government and municipal accounts.
