need and asked for. And we take a level of pride in our work. For us, it’s not just about the sale, it’s about the relationship. I would say that’s a very large part of why we are as successful as we are.” The company now known as Hewson Brothers was originally formed over 100 years ago as a local contractor in Southern Ontario, working on homes and commercial projects. After decades on the tools, the family saw an opportunity to use their jobsite knowledge and experience to support other builders. In 1983, they made the transition from construction to building supply, opening their first location in Brantford to provide contractors with the products they need to be successful. Since that pivotal transition, Hewson Brothers has grown steadily, expanding to a second fullservice location in Cambridge and later opening their specialty ceilings and acoustic solutions division in the Concord area. Today, with a full team spanning sales, operations, warehouse, and delivery, the company serves a robust and loyal customer base across Southern Ontario, the Niagara region, and the GTA. That growth has been built on the foundation of long-standing relationships — with customers, with industry associations, and with the manufacturers whose products lines Hewson Brothers’ suppliers. Many of those supplier partnerships stretch back decades, some to the very early days of the building supply operation. MAY 2026
