Martin Brower Vancouver Distribution Centre Breaks Ground

Martin Brower has officially started construction on our new, state-of-the-art Vancouver, Canada distribution centre (DC)! Opening in the summer of 2027, this new facility demonstrates our commitment to operational excellence while fueling the future of our long-standing partnership with McDonald’s.

Scaling for the Future

This isn't just a move—it’s a transformation. By tripling our square footage, we are engineered for maximum efficiency to support McDonald’s restaurants across Western Canada. Key features include:

• Increased Capacity: Over three times more pallet positions and double the number of loading docks.

• Prime Location: Direct access to Highway 99 and major shipping routes for optimized freight and logistics.

• Sustainability: Charging stations to expand our fleet of electric vehicles, CO₂ refrigeration system and solar-ready roof to reduce environmental impact.

The facility is designed for safety, comfort, and flexibility, featuring:

• Operational Efficiency: A spacious layout and modern material handling equipment (MHE) to streamline daily tasks.

• Premium Amenities: Dedicated training and wellness rooms, large windows for natural light, plus a bigger lunchroom with an outdoor gathering area.

• Sustainable Commuting: Expanded onsite parking, equipped with electric vehicle (EV) charging stations.

We are building more than just a distribution centre; we are building a foundation for our collective success with our customer.
