A letter from our founders
As we reflect on our story, we can't help but think back to those humble beginnings. It all started on Adelaide Street in Kingston, Ontario in an autobody shop with a dirt floor scattered with a patchwork of carpet. The circumstances were not exactly ideal, but our vision was clear:
To build a customer- first business and to run it with trust, honesty, and outstanding service.
We took a leap of faith, borrowing money from family who believed in us and balancing the challenges of raising a family while carrying hope, a dream and a lot of debt. We vividly recall the day we put up the “Levac Supply Ltd” sign on the building. We took a deep breath and said, “It’s official. We are in business!”
We grew slowly and despite set backsalong the way, what propelled us forward was the trust and support we felt from the people around us—our family, our loyal customers and our employees, who became and still are like family. We’re still amazed by how our past, retired, and current team members would respond to an after-hourscall to pick up a desperately needed part or product for Levac Supply, often driving for hours, and deliver it to a customer, no matter the time of day. The phrase “when you work together, it works” became more than just words; it became a guiding principle.
Looking back, on those years before computers and smartphones, when we hand wrote invoices or typed them on our old, but trusted Underwood Olivetti, it's all part of the fabric that helped us grow to who we are today. Each moment and every step was a building block that helped us create a business originally founded on and still operating on our Core Values of being Responsive, Steadfast, Generous and encouraging all to Enjoy life.
This year, as Levac Supply Limited celebrates its 60th anniversary, we are filled with immense pride and gratitude. It's not just about the years—it's about the journey. From day one, we gave it our all to make a dream a reality, and that wouldn't have been possible without the unwavering support of our dedicated team of employees, friends and loyal customers. You’ve all been integral to our success, and we are deeply grateful.


What we’ve achieved today is not just atestament to hard work, but to the hard working and dedicated people who’ve walked beside us. The loyalty, trust, and commitment we've received from our Levac team and customers has been the foundation of our success. We aregrateful beyond measure for the opportunity to serve, build, and grow something meaningful together.
So, as we celebrate our 60th anniversary this year, we want to thank each one of you: our team, our customers, and our community. This journey is as much yours as it is ours. Thank you for being part of it and we look forward to many more years ahead of shared success.
Sincerely,
Shirley & Roger Levac
