Beginning in 1991 as a distributing division of a major plastics
manufacturer, Polywest Ltd was incorporated as a private
company in late 1994. In early 1995 Polywest separated from its
manufacturing parent and opened an independent location in order
to concentrate on marketing a synergistic line of liquid handling
products to the agricultural and industrial market. The objective was
to offer main line products at a fair price, on a timely basis and with
a degree of product knowledge that our customers could trust.
Since 1995 the company has enjoyed unprecedented growth,
establishing itself as the “Go To” supplier of quality liquid handling
products. This success has been accomplished with name brand
products from the most respected manufacturers in North America.
Companies such as Norwesco Inc., Spraying Systems, John Blue,
Honda, GPI and Delavan, have put their confidence in Polywest to
offer their products professionally and at a price that will promote
their continued growth.
Strategic acquisition have played a key role in Polywest’s growth
and success. After acquiring the equipment of GreenDrop in
1996, Polywest undertook a substantive effort to take an industry
accepted product line and evolve it to meet the changing liquid
fertilizer market. Those changes have made Polywest the leader in
liquid fertilizer application equipment not only in Canada, but also
globally with product sales in the USA, Europe and Australia.
In late 1999 Polywest Ltd, acquired the marketing and distribution
rights of a below ground septic and holding tank product line, to
compliment its above ground polyethylene storage tanks. With the
addition of Norwesco Inc., Water and Waste products, Infiltrator
Systems septic chambers and Carlson Structural Glass fiberglass
septic tanks, Polywest Ltd. became the most complete supplier
of above and below ground storage and hauling tanks in North
America.
Most recently in 2011 Polywest Ltd. acquired Focus Industries Inc.
and with it gained the exclusive marketing and manufacturing rights
to The Handler
®
Crop Protection Systems along with distribution
rights for complimentary, high quality products such as Banjo,
Green Leaf and ZCL Composites.
Our dedicated employees treat each customer’s order with a sense
of urgency and an understanding of its importance to our mutual
success. Our satisfaction comes from knowing we are supplying
our customers with high quality, warranted products at a fair price.
