On the Welland Canal
Local to the traffic
Vessels transiting the canal do not have time to wait on a part from out of province. We hold stock locally and can have it dockside or at your yard the same day, with the rest quoted and sourced fast.
- Minutes from the canal and the St. Catharines waterfront
- Counter pickup, local delivery, or shipped Canada-wide
- A supplier who understands that a delayed part can mean a delayed vessel
Who we supply
Mostly boats. Also the trade.
Mostly
Vessels & operators
Commercial boats, workboats and the companies that run them on the Welland Canal and the Great Lakes. Most of what leaves the counter is headed for a hull.
Also
Electrical contractors
Licensed trades and maintenance crews sourcing the same authorized lines for commercial and industrial work ashore.
Trade counter only
Newman sells to businesses, licensed trades and vessel operators. We do not sell to the general public and do not carry residential DIY lines.
Send your list. We'll price it.

About Newman
The independent supplier in Niagara
Family-run since 2003, on Cushman Road in St. Catharines. No call centers, no head office in another province, just people who know your name and your job.
Since 2003
Built around the canal
Newman started as an electrical wholesaler, founded by Richard Newman, serving the boats in the canal and Niagara's electrical contractors. After a career in the marine electrical industry, Richard set out to build a business of his own, rooted in what he knew best.
Now run by his daughters, Kim and Kris. Newman is the local option that's independent, accountable, and here when you need something today.
