“Investing in our employees is the best investment in our business.”
This philosophy has remained central for decades, and still rings true at a well-known local business.
Derek Tribier is the branch manager of EECOL in Moose Jaw- a company that has been part of the local landscape since 1919. Originally known as Bruce Robinson Supplies Ltd., now EECOL Electric, is currently a leading electrical distributor with over 60 branches scattered throughout the country.
While many things have changed since their humble beginnings over a century ago, Tribier says that there is much that remains the same, including passionate people and a shared vision of integrity and innovation. EECOL is also a proud supporter of local charitable organizations, like the Moose Jaw Food Bank, Transition House, the Kinsmen Club and the Royal Canadian Legion, making a difference in their community beyond reliable tool sales.
Commonly misconstrued as a supply store for contractors or business clients, EECOL is proud to carry everything the average weekend warrior could need for small renovations, DIY projects, home repairs, and more. Have a question? Their team of industry professionals has an answer.
EECOL is also a certified Milwaukee dealer, offering sales and repairs including those covered by warranty.
“They have a great warranty program, so if you buy the tool from us, we look after sending it away and getting it repaired for you- you don’t have to worry about having to go to Regina or another location to get your tool repaired.”
From outdoor power equipment to everyday items, EECOL carries corded and cordless Milwaukee tools for all sorts of applications. Tribier notes that their biggest sellers are the M12 and M18 models. The popularity of not only the Milwaukee brand but also specific models is clear, making it a reliable household name.
“They tailor to all trades, not just electrical trades. They tailor to plumbing, fencing, roofing, tinsmiths, HVAC- they tailor to all of those groups and more.”
Can’t find what you’re looking for? EECOL can order it in for you. Or you can take a look for yourself during their upcoming Milwaukee Tent event!
Mark your calendars for the upcoming Milwaukee Tent Sale, happening June 24th during regular business hours. It’s a great opportunity for Milwaukee-minded folks to shop, upgrade, and learn more about all that Milwaukee has to offer.
“During this event, we’re going to have some special sales going on,” says Tribier. “We’re also going to have live demonstrations of tools with their presenters. There will be a limited amount of free items along with the purchase of a certain dollar amount.”
All are welcome to attend this event, where Tribier hopes to connect with the community on a more personal level while celebrating yet another great year for the company.
