The Largest Importers of Tile in Canada and a Leading Supplier in the United States

In the year 1927, the very first ceramic tile wholesale distribution operation in Canada was established by Mr. John Capra under the name “Montreal Floor and Wall Tile”. This company was merged in the late 1950’s with Olympia Tile, which was established in 1956. This set in motion an organization that would, in the 1960’s and1970’s, expand and establish branches in 11 major cities in Canada and open branches in many locations in the United States, to become an international leader in the ceramic tile industry. Olympia Tile acquired a number of distribution companies in various locations in the United States who are now leaders in their respective regions.
