Hewson Brothers Building Supply – 2025 Year in Review

As 2025 comes to a close, we’re taking a moment to reflect on a year defined by connection, collaboration, and continued commitment to the construction industry and the communities we serve. From industry leadership and charitable initiatives to expanding our product offerings, this past year reinforced what Hewson Brothers Building Supply has stood for for over a century: strong partnerships, trusted expertise, and doing business the right way.

Industry Involvement: Showing Up, Speaking Up, and Staying Engaged

Industry involvement has always been a cornerstone of Hewson Brothers Building Supply, and 2025 was no exception.

We were proud to support and attend key industry events, including the GVCA Building Excellence Awards, where we celebrated the achievements of local builders and trades who continue to raise the bar across our region. These events are a reminder that behind every great project is a community of skilled professionals working together.

Throughout the year, we remained actively engaged with industry associations such as the Grand Valley Construction Association (GVCA) and Niagara Region Construction Association (NRCA), including participating in their annual golf tournaments. These events provided valuable opportunities to strengthen relationships, exchange ideas, and stay closely connected to the evolving needs of contractors and builders.

Our team also attended major industry gatherings like The Buildings Show in Toronto, ensuring we stay informed on emerging trends, innovative products, and best practices that directly benefit our customers.

In addition, Hewson Brothers was honoured to be:

• Featured in Ontario Home Builder Magazine, highlighting our role as a trusted supplier in the residential construction space.

• Recognized with the 2025 AD Canada All In Award, celebrating inclusive leadership and meaningful industry contributions.

• Vocal advocates for the importance of building science, not only in construction practices but also in how we educate, market, and support informed decision-making across the industry.

Even in a year marked by market uncertainty, we focused on navigating challenges through strong supplier and customer partnerships, reinforcing our belief that collaboration is key to long-term success.

Charitable Initiatives: Building Beyond the Jobsite

Supporting our community is just as important to us as supporting the jobsite.

In 2025, we proudly participated in and promoted several charitable initiatives that reflect our values and the causes close to our team’s hearts. We joined the Breakthrough T1D Walk in support of Team Ty, helping raise awareness and funds for Type 1 diabetes research and support programs.

We also continued our commitment to initiatives that encourage inclusivity and growth in the skilled trades, including sponsoring the Legacy Builders Program, which helps introduce young people to meaningful careers in construction and the trades.

Later in the year, our PinkPrints Campaign brought the industry together in support of breast cancer awareness, raising $3,080 for an important cause. The campaign was a powerful example of what can happen when suppliers, contractors, and partners rally together for something bigger than business.

These initiatives reflect our belief that strong communities and a strong industry go hand in hand.

New Products: Expanding Solutions for Today’s Builds

As building practices continue to evolve, so does our product offering.

In 2025, we expanded our lineup with products that align with modern construction demands, performance standards, and sustainability goals. Highlights include:

• DuPont Reduced GWP Froth-Pak™ Foam Sealant Kits, supporting lower-emission building solutions without compromising performance.

• Proudly stocking Trusscore Wall & Ceiling Panels, offering an excellent option for durable agricultural and commercial needs.

• The addition of DEWALT tools, giving our customers access to trusted, job-tested equipment from a brand contractors rely on every day.

These additions complement our existing product mix and reinforce our focus on supplying materials that help builders work smarter, safer, and more efficiently.

Looking Ahead

As we move into the next year, our focus remains clear: continue investing in relationships, supporting our industry, giving back to our community, and providing the products and expertise builders can count on. Thank you to our customers, suppliers, industry partners, and team members for making 2025 such a meaningful year.
