Heritage.
Trican had been servicing the Canadian market for the past 23 years, building the company by word of mouth, outstanding customer service and loyalty. Collectively, the company services its customers daily, backed by more than 150 years of experience behind us.
Customer Service.
Customer service is what Trican has been built upon. Every call is greeted in either French or English, and the telephone never rings more than three times. Orders are shipped daily, usually with next day delivery, and our wealth of product knowledge on the other end of the phone is why our customers keep calling back every time.
Innovation.
We are constantly looking at and implementing new ways to increase customer satisfaction, utilizing technology to get product into customers hands faster and cheaper, and we listen to our customers to find out how we are doing and how we can improve for them.
New Beginnings.
Trican has turned a corner in its history. Our founders Gerry Power and Michel Bordet have retired from the company and David Power is our proud new President. David’s name in the industry is synonymous with the values shared by Trican and we look forward to great things with a very bright future with David at our helm.
Trican has now more closely allied itself with Tri Vantage, the largest distributor in the U.S. of outdoor shading products. This now enables Trican’s customer’s access to a whole new offering of products to the Canadian market.
