JCTCF Jewett Cameron Trading Company

Jewett-Cameron Trading Company Ltd. (NASDAQ: JCTCF), a company committed to innovative products that enrich outdoor spaces, today announced it has partnered with Continental Sales & Marketing, Inc. (“CSM”) to expand distribution with key national and regional home improvement retailers across its various product lines with a particular focus on the Company’s Lifetime Steel Post® and Adjust-A-Gate® fence solutions.

CSM is a nationally recognized, multifaceted, strategic business partner with over 49 years of experience with national and regional home improvement retailers. CSM has built strong relationships across a wide range of departments at the corporate level of major home centers, co-ops and independent dealers, and are talented at resolving complex accounting, distribution, supply chain and SKU management issues.

Earlier this year, Jewett-Cameron successfully launched in-store merchandiser displays for the Company’s Lifetime Steel Post® and Adjust-A-Gate® solutions in major home improvement retailers. The initial trial of these merchandisers in the Southern California region and Northwest region was so successful other stores quickly opted in. A key component of CSM’s engagement will be to manage and respond to the growing number of regions scheduled to integrate the merchandiser installations.

“A key growth driver for Jewett-Cameron will be a number of exciting new product and merchandising initiatives launching over the next 12 months, both in-store and online,” commented Chad Summers, CEO of Jewett-Cameron. “I look forward to working closely with the CSM team to ensure that the execution is flawless and delivers on the sales and profitability objectives we have set.” 

“The team at CSM is well known and widely respected throughout the home improvement channel,” says Mike Siuda, Jewett-Cameron’s Vice President of Sales and Marketing. “Their attention to detail, engagement with store associates and end users, and reputation for executing at the store level are key strengths I have witnessed first-hand in working with their team previously. I look forward to leveraging these strengths to drive expanded distribution for Jewett-Cameron’s innovative fence and gate solutions.”

“We are thrilled to be working with the team at Jewett-Cameron, as their organization and product offering align so well with our core competencies here at Continental Sales and Marketing,” said Steven Scheiner, Founder of CSM.

Jewett-Cameron will also benefit from CSM’s best-in-class group of sales analysts that consistently deliver easy-to-interpret, meaningful data, allowing the Company to maintain its leadership role in category management, and having the right products in the right markets at the inventory levels that maximize productivity at the store level and online.

Adam Scheiner, President of CSM, added, “As we continue to expand our reach across product categories throughout the retail home improvement channel, we will seek out like-minded partners such as Jewett-Cameron. Each of our companies have a track record of success, which can be attributed to our experience, thoughtful planning, and relentless focus on execution in the field and in the rapidly growing digital environment.”
