Year-round local inventory and hands-on partner support signal a deeper commitment to the Canadian tire market.

Nexen Tire America has taken a significant step forward in its Canadian growth strategy by opening a new distribution centre in Guelph, Ontario. The facility enables the company’s Canadian division to maintain local inventory year-round, dramatically reducing lead times and improving product availability for Canadian retailers and distributors across all seasons.

A stronger partnership model for Canadian dealers

Beyond its logistical function, the new Guelph centre signals a meaningful shift in how Nexen Tire Canada plans to engage with its dealer network. The Canadian team will work directly alongside distributors and retailers to support in-store promotions, deliver staff product training, and execute targeted marketing programs. For Canadian tire shops and parts distributors, this investment translates into faster access to product, stronger local support, and a supplier partner actively committed to growing alongside them in the Canadian market.
