Development of our group of companies began in the Peace Country in the early 1950’s and more specifically in Grande Prairie in 1969 with the launch of Northern Metalic Sales – our wholesale distribution business. Over the course of our ½ century history our experience in supply chain management, project development and transportation has evolved to reach far beyond our expectations and this region.
Today we boast a group of successful complementary companies based in Grande Prairie that involve property and land development, rail reload and transportation, industrial supply, oilfield distribution and finance. We understand what agility in supply chain management means not only to us but to our vendors & customers.
We manage very broad inventories that originate around the world for dispatching in other parts of the globe. Between Northern Metalic Sales and Baron Oilfield Supply alone, we direct the movement of 1/2 billion dollars of goods annually from our Grande Prairie operations. Our warehouses are modern, our systems are current, and our people are engaged.
We have grown and diversified as have our operations – from our flagship – GP Reload to six separate multi-user facilities moving a multitude of products from rock and sand, grains and fertilizers, to methanol, glycols and wind turbines.
