PRIMCO becomes the exclusive Mercier Wood Flooring retailer in Western Canada

Mercier Wood Flooring inc. and PRIMCO Limited announce their new commercial partnership, effective immediately. PRIMCO’s distribution strength, with more than 650 stores in its territory served by 34 representatives, combined with Mercier hardwood floors quality, will strengthen both companies’ presence on the market. PRIMCO’s high quality service assures an unconditional support to the current retail network of Mercier Wood Flooring, which hence abandons its status of manufacturer-distributor on this territory. With the impressive expertise of PRIMCO Limited., stores will get a fast and efficient service and support, from a highly-skilled sales force. Karey Peterson, Mercier representative in western Canada, will provide the best support to PRIMCO. This new partnership will strengthen and increase both Mercier’s and PRIMCO’s market share from Manitoba to British Columbia, while assuring the best service to their retailers and consumers.

Primco Limited, operating since 1947 has become a leading distributor in the floor covering industry. With locations in Vancouver, Calgary (main office), Edmonton, Saskaton, Regina and Winnipeg, PRIMCO supplies retailers, from the Pacific coast to Thunder Bay in Ontario, as well as in the north in Yukon, Northwestern territories and Nunavut. With a full time employee base of approximately 120 people, Primco is dedicated to providing complete customer satisfaction, while maximizing operating efficiencies.
