CP Distributors (CPD) was incorporated in 1962 in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan as a small construction specialty distributor, supplying specialty building products to the construction industry. Over the years we expanded our expertise to include customers in the commercial, institutional (schools, hospitals, and correctional facilities), hospitality, multifamily and industrial sectors. CPD has expanded geographically and in addition to our Saskatoon location which includes corporate headquarters, we now have locations in Regina, Edmonton, Calgary, Surrey, and Halifax. Each of our locations has their own warehouse, fabrication shop, fleet of service vehicles, customer service and project coordination teams.

CP Distributors is well known in Canada through our selection of highquality product lines which include manufactured products, architectural hardware, security hardware, electronic hardware, detention hardware, fire doors, wood doors, toilet partitions, washroom accessories, electric operators, security access systems, mailboxes, spectator seating, and much more!

The world is continuously changing. Codes are constantly updating. We are in an industry that must pivot, and this is not always an easy task or is it a realistic expectation. At CPD we are always educating ourselves and our clients and working to provide the most up to date information and product. Recently we have added a team of architectural consultants as well as integrated security specialists to become a onestop construction and building supply shop. We work directly with architects and builders to ensure everything we touch is up to code and functions to the best capabilities of all components involved. We also offer a preassembly service to help our clients cut down on costs and save time.

CPD | INTEGRATED SYSTEMS (DIVISION 28)

Due to ongoing and increasing client demand we now provide design & build services. We supply, install, and service building entry systems, CCTV cameras, video recording, access control, intrusion protection, and all varieties of integrated security systems.

ARCHITECTURAL OPENINGS CONSULTING

We recognize the need for expert advice when it comes to functionality of a building. To serve our clients better, we have added a team of architectural opening consultants to our roster. Our consultants have experience with the unique needs of various types of facilities including education, healthcare, multifamily, commercial, and detention projects. They help to simplify specifications and provide the right products to meet the needs of all your opening and building requirements. Our consultants: • Develop hardware schedules • Use BIM Integration • Graphically track changes • Recommend and supply product to meet code, design, and function • Design access control and security systems

PREASSEMBLY AND PREFINISHING

CP Distributors offers a preassembly and prefinished option. We install the hardware onto doors in a controlled environment by certified installers. This means doors can be delivered to a job site ready to go. We can help our clients save money, improve their schedule, and eliminate jobsite errors. These new practices contribute little to no packaging waste to jobsites and contribute to a lean construction process.

Some of CP Distributors recent accomplishments include the Ella Tower, the Calgary Cancer Centre, and the Nutrien Tower.

It was 60 years ago when a company was started based on the love of the construction industry and the need to supply highend, topquality service. We strive to optimize our customers’ success by providing them with the best value in quality products and service. We are your building connection and proud to have been for the past 60 years. n
