Westrans was founded in 1967 initially selling rebuilt transmissions and differentials out of a small facility in Winnipeg, Man. The upstart company’s ambitious vision would soon outgrow these humble beginnings, however, as Westrans moved to position itself as a major truck parts distributor and brake and power train remanufacturer in the Canadian market. Throughout the 70s, Westrans expanded its
presence in the Canadian market, eventually shifting operations to a larger office in Winnipeg. In 1981, Westrans headquarters in Winnipeg moved again, this time into a 61,400 square foot facility in order to meet the widening scope of the operation. The following two decades saw even greater expansion, as the company launched distribution centres in Thunder Bay (1984) and Regina (1990). Westrans now boasts three locations across three provinces, each offering customers a complete “one-stop shop” environment, and servicing their respective rural regions via a unique parts delivery service. Throughout its evolution, the company has been able to maintain and foster long-term customer relationships, some upwards of 30 years. This success is due to Westrans’ dedicated team of employees who have worked hard to establish the company as a touchstone of reliability, assurance, and efficiency in the industry. Today, the Westrans team continues to provide customers with an unparalleled service experience by facilitating their unique needs wherever possible. It is this commitment to excellence which has made Westrans “Your Brake & Power Train Specialists” for over 45 years!
