In 1974 Clare
Shoemaker & family founded their first drywall supply yard in Lethbridge
Alberta. Thirty plus years later Shoemaker Drywall Supplies (SDS) has
become one of the largest drywall suppliers in Western Canada with ten
branches across British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba.
Today SDS is run not only
by the second generation of Clare’s family, Ryan & Trevor Shoemaker, but
by
many other dedicated individuals as well. Keeping true
to
Clare’s vision and values, SDS continues to be focused on quality
service, growth, and innovation. SDS is proud to be achieving these
successes through key partnerships with suppliers, customers, and
employees alike.
In January of 2009, SDS
announced the creation of WSB Titan, a merger between SDS, Watson
Building Supplies from Ontario and the Beauchesne Group of Companies
from Quebec. Overnight WSB Titan became the largest independently owned
drywall supplier in the country.
As the Western Canadian
division of WSB Titan, SDS has continued to diversify well beyond the
scope of drywall. Today SDS also supplies
insulation, ceiling systems, roofing, steel studs, stucco, tools of the
trade, and so much more.
Creating SDS on line is one
more example of how the company has grown over the last thirty years. We
now look to the future and the next thirty years with great excitement
as we find even more new solutions and ideas to better serve our
industry.
For those of you who are already
partners of SDS, thank you for your support. For those of you
entertaining the idea of partnering with us, we welcome getting to know
you and showing you the SDS advantage!
