Innovative Wills Transfer still expanding after 75 years

Wills Transfer Limited, a 4th-generation family business, is proudly celebrating 75 years while continuing to expand its operations.

Reaching gold status in 2020 as one of Canada's Best Managed Companies, Wills Transfer provides world-class supply chain services, inventory management, order fulfillment, transportation and outsourcing solutions.

"Our goal is to work alongside our customers and provide them with innovative logistics solutions to be part of their success," says President Terry Wills.

Wills Transfer has been experiencing even more growth recently to keep pace with consumer buying patterns.

"Where we are growing is in partnering with manufacturers and large retailers to be an extension of their warehouses, and a significant part of their supply chain. It allows them to focus on core research and development, production and sales," says Jordi Wills, company Vice-President and General Manager of the Brockville facility.

The Wills Transfer head office is located in Rideau Lakes Township on the outskirts of Smiths Falls. At that location the company provides refrigerated warehousing. There are also additional locations in Perth and Ottawa. In Brockville, Wills Transfer recently doubled its warehousing capacity, adding 260,000-square-feet of warehouse space off-site over and above its 210,000-square-feet on Parkedale Avenue.

The company will begin construction of a 225,000-square-foot distribution centre in nearby Ingleside this year to further expand and meet demand.

During the COVID 19 pandemic, the company has been involved in several large personal protective equipment (PPE) distribution projects. The masks, gloves and gowns are received into Wills Transfer warehouses and distributed throughout Canada.

Wills Transfer began operations in 1945 with only two trucks and has had consistent growth over its 75 years. The company now employs more than 200 people and will be adding workers this year.
