About Us

Identified by its longevity and established presence within the Canadian business community, CenturyVallen has been, and continues to be, one of the most respected and reliable industrial goods and service suppliers in the country. Our unrivaled proficiency in the business-to-business supply of safety, janitorial and MRO (maintenance, repair, and operations) products and related services has contributed to over seventy years of sustained growth and prosperity.

We are a member of the Sonepar Canada family, which in turn is a member of the Sonepar Group, the world’s largest privately-held electrical distributor. The Sonepar Group is present in more than 30 countries with approximately 2,100 locations and 30,000 employees. In Canada, Sonepar is represented by CenturyVallen, Gescan BC, Gescan Prairies, Lumen, Sonepar Ontario (consisting of Osso Electric, Gescan Ontario, Texcan Ontario and Sesco) and Texcan.  In Canada, Sonepar has over 1,500 employees working out of 90 offices between our distinctive labels.

In addition to our extensive supply business, CenturyVallen offers comprehensive commodity related service programs, vending solutions, professional application assistance and product related training. As well, our services and expertise are often required beyond the confines of traditional operating locations. Mobile project trailers help our clients achieve real savings during construction, shutdowns, and plant maintenance projects through convenient on site management, administration and supply of safety, janitorial and MRO products with a variety of flexible proven solutions. Global resources and reach, combined with credible local market experience, allow CenturyVallen to provide customer service excellence and sophisticated cost-saving programs. CenturyVallen built its business on inventory management and customer service.

Spend less time on inventory control, and invest more time doing what you do best.

With Century Vallen, I know i’m going to get an informative, professional, and customer friendly response to all my questions and quotes.  Always a pleasant experience.

Glenn Vorra has been great for us here at the Medicine Hat College Plumbing Department. In general Glenn is everything you would need in a representative for a company, you should be extremely proud of his professionalism.
