To compete at the scale required in today’s market while maintaining independence, Hewson Brothers is a member of the AD Buying Group, one of the largest buying cooperatives in the industry. The membership allows the company to pool its purchasing power with other independent suppliers across Canada, enabling Hewson Brothers to offer the pricing depth of a largeformat retailer without sacrificing the character of a locally owned business. “There aren’t a lot of independents left,” Beth notes. “Being able to pool our buying power to compete on a large-scale format is fantastic – and a lot of that is because of the relationships we’ve built over the last 40 years with the same manufacturers we were selling to in the ‘80s.” One example of a longstanding partner would be CertainTeed, which is one of North America’s leading manufacturers of sustainable interior and exterior building products, including roofing, siding, insulation, gypsum, and ceilings. Hewson Brothers is a strong advocate for CertainTeed’s installation and drywall materials, which are renowned for their exceptional thermal performance, as well as their ability to reduce noise, manage moisture, enhance comfort, and generally stand the test of time. Hewson Brothers has valued their products and their relationship for many years now. On the customer side, meanwhile, Hewson Brothers has also formed and maintained longlasting relationships.
