Started it Listowel in 1926, the Ideal Supply Company Limited began as a manufacturer of bread molding machines. It also entered in the furniture and radio component business and by the 1940s was a retailer of hardware and automotive parts.
Ideal Supply grew from five Southwestern Ontario stores in the mid 1960s to today’s number of 28 NAPA Auto Parts locations as part of its Automotive Group. Ideal also has an Electrical Division, which markets electrical components to the commercial and retail trade, and its Automation Group, focused on industrial automation and software.
