History
In 1987, a small group of enterprising Canadians reclaimed the heritage of the Hudson’s Bay Company’s Northern Stores division. They reached back in time to name the new entity “The North West Company†and it grew into a true success story.
We’ve moved with the adventuring spirit of the great North West Company explorer, Alexander Mackenzie, and the management skills of our Hudson’s Bay Company predecessor, George Simpson. Combined in the right balance, applied to the right situation, they are powerful ingredients behind North West’s longevity.
