No matter where your company is located in Atlantic Canada, you can have confidence that we will meet your needs quickly and reliably. Our goal is to help you succeed! The seeds of our entrepreneurial diversity were first sown by company founder James Dergavel Irving (J.D. Irving) - the son of enterprising immigrants from Dumphries, Scotland. The original company holdings included: a sawmill, gristmill, carding mill, a general store, lumber business and three farms. J.D. was an innovator and a dedicated investor in new methods, equipment to improve productivity and service - a tradition that we carry on today. Kenneth Colin (K.C.) Irving, born in 1899, inherited his father's entrepreneurial spirit and keen interest in business. K.C. was a driven and dynamic builder of enterprises who "liked to see the wheels turn". Under his leadership, the business realized significant growth and diversification in the transportation, shipbuilding, construction and retail sectors. In 1957, James K. (J.K.) Irving (K.C.'s eldest son) pioneered the company's reforestation and tree improvement programs and expanded our forest products' business. Over the past 55 years the company planted over 925 million trees - a national record in Canada. Trees, being nature's air filters, absorb carbon dioxide to combat global warming. Today, continual reforestation is sustaining jobs and value-added operations that J.K. and his sons have grown over the years. Like the generations before them, J.K. and his sons, Robert and Jim, are builders. They believe that good products, superior service, continuous improvement and the front-line efforts of skilled employees are the most important ingredients to success. With the help of an innovative team, the diverse companies of J.D. Irving, Limited continue to grow and evolve, providing quality products and services that span industries and customers worldwide. While much has changed over the past 135 years, our company's basic formula has not. We believe in investing and building our business with the skills of great employees, producing excellent products, giving superior service to valued customers - and then reinvesting again. Our company was founded in 1959 in Saint John, New Brunswick as a division of J.D. Irving, Limited. Though we're now one of Atlantic Canada's leading business to business providers in the areas of Apparel & Promotional Products, Commercial Communications, Industrial Supplies, Office Environments, Safety Supplies and Sanitation Equipment & Supplies, we started out much more humbly with a focus on supplying provisions to the shipping industry. Along the way, we strengthened our line-up of products and services through strategic acquisitions. In 2002, we purchased R&A Paper Products Ltd, which formed the foundation of our new office in Sydney, Nova Scotia. In 2007, we purchased Enviro Chemicals (Atlantic) Ltd., significantly enhancing the capabilities of our sanitation division. We can now provide our sanitation customers with greater coverage, more expertise and a wider range of products. Finally, in 2011 we acquired Specialty Apparel, in Mount Pearl, Newfoundland. Specialty Apparel brings a unique custom manufacturing aspect to our Apparel & Promotional Products division and expands our range to include all of Atlantic Canada.
