Since Western Equipment's beginnings back in 1947 with a small store in Victoria, change and growth have been the main-stay, and the challenge for this company and it's employees. Currently operating out of six branches in British Columbia, Canada, our company is a major supplier and consultant to this province's resource based industries. We can also boast that no other industrial distributor in BC has the depth and diversity of products to offer their customers. With a full service rigging shop in all branches, we offer custom made wire rope cable and chain assemblies made on site.

The past fifty years have seen a lot of changes on the face of industry in BC. With the trend towards single sourcing initiatives amongst the larger to medium sized companies, Western Equipment is well positioned to pursue and succeed in this continually changing business environment. We believe the future looks very bright for our company!

Customer response was tremendous, and our reputation for quality products and good service quickly grew making it possible to open up branches in Mesachie Lake, Campbell River, Terrace and Prince George. In 2004, Western moved into a new headquarters in Surrey.

Acquisitions of Chinook Wire Rope, and River Industries in the early 1990's further fueled Western's fast paced expansion into Vernon.
