Toronto, Canada Gertex Solutions Full time

THE GERTEX STORY


Our story began nearly three decades ago, when our three founding members (who are also brothers) came together in their parents'​ basement to bring their ambition to life. We're proud of where we began – and how far we've come. But, we’re more excited about the relationships we have built with our customers and the hundreds of companies we help every day.


Today, we have 75,000 square feet of storage space to call our own, where we house products for our clients so they can access whatever they need, when they need it. Our solutions include customized services and products that will meet any unique resource supply needs. We work closely with customers to figure out the best possible options we can offer that will save time, money and even storage space. We will ensure every resource supply journey is as simple and as seamless as possible.
