IRLY Building Centres


	Buying Groups


	As of January 1, 2008 IRLY Distributors Ltd. is a member of TIM-BR MART and Spancan (1999) Corporation These two buying groups allow IRLY Distributors to reach the highest plateaus to maximize rebates to the dealer and the warehouse on purchases of building materials and hardware. All rebates received by IRLY Distributors Ltd. from rebate suppliers are paid directly to the IRLY dealers, whether the dealer is billed directly by the supplier or central billed through IRLY Distributors Ltd.



	As of early 2007 TIM-BR MART is more than double the size of the next largest buying cooperative, with annual purchases exceeding $2 billion. We�re proud that over 600 retail stores, commercial dealers and manufacturers are stronger because they are a TIM-BR MART partner.



	Spancan is a hardlines buying group with a network of members across Canada. Formed in 1999, the group has grown to become the largest group of it�s kind, representing independent businesses specializing in hardware and home improvement retailing and distribution.
