Hi Everyone,
just wanted to quickly introduce ourselves. Our company is very proud to be a new Canadian Festool dealer, with locations in Nanaimo, BC, Calgary, AB and Winnipeg, MB. Please let us know if we can help you in any way with regards to your Festool purchases, problems, questions etc. Our stock for Nanaimo is on it's way and should arrive in time for our open house on March, 20th & 21st. We will have demo models of most of your favorite Festool products for you to try out. The stock for our other locations has yet to be ordered but should be along shortly, please give them a call should you have any questions.

We are also the Western Canadian partner for the Felder group of companies (Felder, Hammer, Format-4), and are a local dealer on Vancouver Island for General, General International and Forrest Blades, among other products. Please let me know if I can be of any assistance to you regarding any machinery purchase etc. I look forward to meeting many of you and servicing your Festool and Machinery needs. Thank you, best regards,

Welcome Chris.

Why is it that British Columbia is getting the new dealers?  (I might have to move)

How do Chris.........Looks like we're going from famine to feast as far as Festool dealers go in Canada. Same question as Frank though....are we going to get some eastern dealers where we can lay our grubby little hands on some demo tools?

Hi Guys,
thank you for the welcome. As far as it goes for Eastern Dealers, I would not know what course of action Festool is taking. I know that as far as sending products, our Winnipeg branch would be more than happy to fill your order requests but unfortunately that does not help in terms of seeing the products. Andreas, I too am looking forward to the open house, it will be nice to see you there. Thank you again Guys for the welcome,

-Chris

Talking to another local shop and they told be about felder and that they are still on the fence about getting in the game.

Chris,
It's great to have you here, as I have always had great respect for Felder machines.  Unfortunately, I've never been able to own one, but I've used them enough to be interested.  Excellent machinery, and I think there is a connection -- in terms of quality -- between Felder and Festool.

On a more personal level, back when I was starting up the original Yahoo FOG, the people at the Felder Owners Group (yes, the other FOG) gave me some good advice.

If you get a chance, post some photos of your machines and your sales area.  That's always a nice idea for dealers.

Glad to have you here, and I look forward to seeing your posts!

Thanks,
Matthew

We just moved to Calgary from the Twin Cities in Minnesota and my son and I stopped by your store last week.

Your new hire Bill was very helpful and seems like a good egg. He helped us find a couple of things and ordered a couple more for me.

Just thought I would give a public "thumbs up" as it were.

Thanks,

Jim
