Industrial Plastics & Paints is a chain of specialty hardware stores located throughout Western Canada.
Each location has a fabrication shop where we can cut, bend, glue, and route plastic sheets into almost anything our customers desire.
We offer products from many well known manufacturers such as Benjamin Moore, Cyro, Dow, Plaskolite, GE, Lexan, Starboard, Devcon, Spray & Forget, System 3, Smooth-On, West System, Ames Coatings, Interlux Paints, Bird-B-Gone, Moldex, RotoPax, and so much more!
But where did we start?
The business was started in Victoria, BC Canada by two WWII Veterans. While serving in the Canadian Air Force, these two had witnessed first hand, the development of Plastics in the aviation industry. So when they returned from the war, they opened up a small plastics fabrication shop on Store St. in Victoria, BC. Since that time we have grown to 7 Western Canadian locations in British Columbia and Alberta.
To provide our customers with greater access to more products we joined the Ace Hardware Buying Group in 2002. This association has developed into a major supply chain for the IPP Stores and provides our buyers with access to the over 65,000 items in the 800,000 sq. ft. Moxie Washington Regional Supply Center. This access combined with the 2 major Ace buying shows each year and the annual National Hardware Show ensures that we remain on the leading edge of the hardware industry product offerings.
Over the years, Industrial Plastics & Paints has continually expanded our product line to help our customers solve problems. While these products have been readily available to customers in the vicinity of our Western Canadian stores, customers that are further afield have expressed frustrations at not having easy access to our fantastic product line. So in 2012, we introduced this eCommerce site to provide access to customers away from the vicinity of one of our locations.
