Groupe Touchette\u2019s expanded Winnipeg warehouse (CNW Group\/Groupe Touchette)<\/p>\n
Since\u00a0establishing\u00a0operations in Winnipeg in 2015, Groupe Touchette has continued to invest in\u00a0the\u00a0region to better support customers, partners and communities across Manitoba and Western Canada. This latest expansion marks\u00a0the\u00a0company’s third major growth project in\u00a0the\u00a0market and underscores its confidence in\u00a0the\u00a0region’s economic potential.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Investing in a Strategic Gateway for Western Canada\u00a0<\/p>\n
Located in\u00a0CentrePort, one of North America’s most strategic inland ports,\u00a0the\u00a0expanded facility strengthens Groupe Touchette’s ability to serve customers across Manitoba, Saskatchewan and beyond.\u00a0The\u00a0enhanced distribution capacity will support growing demand across key sectors, including passenger, commercial and agricultural transportation, while improving product availability and service levels for customers throughout\u00a0the\u00a0region.\u00a0<\/p>\n
”\u00a0Winnipeg plays a key role in our Western Canadian operations,” said Paul Hyshka, Vice President, Independent Sales at Groupe Touchette. “Our continued investment\u00a0in this facility reflects the strong relationships we have built with customers, partners and the local business community over the past decade.\u00a0We see significant opportunity for continued growth in this region and are proud to further strengthen our ability to support customers across Western Canada.”\u00a0<\/p>\n
Supporting Regional Growth and Customer Success\u00a0<\/p>\n
The\u00a0expansion will allow Groupe Touchette to increase inventory capacity, broaden product\u00a0availability\u00a0and enhance operational efficiency. More importantly, it positions\u00a0the\u00a0company to better support\u00a0the\u00a0evolving needs of local tire retailers, commercial fleets, agricultural\u00a0businesses\u00a0and transportation operators that play a vital role in Manitoba’s economy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As\u00a0the\u00a0tire distribution industry continues to evolve, driven by sustained demand across multiple market segments, Groupe Touchette\u00a0remains\u00a0focused on investing in infrastructure that supports customer growth and strengthens regional supply chains.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“This expansion represents an investment in our people, our customers and the long-term success of the region,”\u00a0added\u00a0Hyshka.\u00a0“Winnipeg remains an important market for Groupe Touchette, and we look forward to growing alongside the communities and businesses we serve.”\u00a0<\/p>\n
