Our story spans five generations of the Horsman family—and counting.

In 1900, our founding father, George Dennis Horsman, established a small hardware shop in a rural Saskatchewan rail town.

Little did he know that more than 124 years later, this would become Western Canada’s leading independent electrical distributor.

The Early Days

Our story begins at the turn of the 20th century when our co-founder, George Dennis Horsman, left his home in Hamilton, Ontario.

With only a Colt revolver and a knapsack, he boarded a train and headed west in search of work and a new adventure.

He stopped in Regina to work at a small hardware store. Soon after, a similar hardware store in Moosomin, Saskatchewan went up for sale. Sensing an opportunity in this humble railway town, he contacted his father, Edward B. (E.B.) Horsman to pitch a business idea.
