A can-do attitude from day one

In 1997, Noble Plumbing Supply and Trade Plumbing Supply merged to form Noble, a wholesale distributor serving both commercial accounts and walk-in tradesmen. Since then, we’ve grown to 31 branches and counting, becoming the largest wholesaler in the Greater Toronto Area and one of the largest in all of Ontario.

Noble’s expansion has always been about how to best serve our customers through growth without losing the "personal touch." Our focus on the needs of each customer—big or small—has fueled our success.

In 2007, we were acquired by Rona, another Canadian entrepreneurial success story. Rona quickly recognized our value to trade professionals and has supported us in continuing to operate as a separate entity with our own distinct working culture.

Our history is built on a company-wide commitment to deliver the best service possible. This philosophy led to the creation of our Guarantee Program which outlines our promises to our customers and to unequaled service results like our 99.2% fill rate—the absolute best in the industry. We’re confident this dedication will drive further growth and even greater customer satisfaction in the future.
