In the 1960's, Al Harris, then a farm equipment dealer, saw the
need for a specialized agricultural parts service in Western Canada. Although a
number of quality "short-line" manufacturers were represented in the
Canadian West, they were unable to provide adequate parts service, an important
factor in providing service to agriculture.
In 1970, Al started a service for Alberta dealers, and in February
of 1973, Westward Parts Services Ltd. was
incorporated as a separate business. A Regina warehouse was opened in February
of 1974. Westward Parts soon expanded to serve
Manitoba and British Columbia dealers, and then Eastern Canadian dealers and
distributors. Although Al has passed away, Westward Parts remains a 100%
Canadian owned private corporation.
Late in 1992, Westward Parts acquired most of the inventory and
assets of City Machinery Limited, a large Winnipeg industrial distributor.
Westward Parts is now supplying bearings, power transmission products, tools,
components, and general industrial supplies to a large number of industrial and
commercial customers.
Since its establishment, Westward Parts has grown steadily and can
now supply the largest selection of "all makes parts and power
transmission products" in Canada. Westward Parts is Western Canada's leading
agricultural distributor, supplying almost all the region's farm equipment
dealers, and other farm parts retailers. Westward Parts continues to provide an
authorized original parts distribution service for several quality farm
equipment manufacturers.
Westward Parts also manufacturers and distributes accessories,
attachments and small equipment, and supplies specialized items to Original
Equipment Manufacturers. Westward Parts growth has been accomplished by
aggressively pursuing manufacturers, the world over, that can supply us with
top quality products at competitive prices. Westward Parts has enjoyed long
continuous relationships with its suppliers.
With our warehouses in Red Deer, Alberta; Regina, Saskatchewan;

at competitive prices to all customers. Westward Parts' objective has always
been efficient service to Canadian farmers and acreage owners. Westward Parts
supplies a wide selection of affordable quality products with superior customer
