Opportunity Knocks
In the early 1960’s Acklands Limited Industrial Division imported a limited scope of tools to introduce to the Canadian marketplace. They were branded under factory names such as Lobster, Gorilla and Tone. The products sold out almost immediately and a decision was made to buy more. Acklands Limited Industrial Division realized they had met a market need for high quality, value priced alternatives to national brands.

A Brand is Born
In 1963, Westward Distributors was created to unify the imported items under a single brand name that customers could immediately recognize and trust. Since then, the Westward® brand has grown to inventory a wide range of hand tools, pneumatic tools, automotive specialty tools, shop equipment and material handling equipment. The Westward® brand is becoming increasingly more recognizable in the Canadian marketplace. Due to the success of Westward®, Grainger expanded the strategy in the USA, and brought the Westward® name to the US market in 1998. Since 2010 Westward® is available in the European market and in full expansion.
