Scroll through our history below to see how our legacy grew.
On February 8, 1996, Ken Watling established Lightning Equipment Sales Inc. The company built its foundation from humble beginnings, operating initially out of his family home with just an F-150 pickup truck and a bumper crane. Driven by a commitment to personal service, Ken TRAVELLED across Ontario to build relationships and grow his customer base face-to-face.
By early 2008, the business had outgrown its home office. In June of that year, the company transitioned into a 2,100 square-foot facility. This new location allowed Lightning Equipment Sales to expand its inventory, establish dedicated offices, build a workshop, and introduce a small showroom.
Growth continued rapidly, and in August 2014, the company relocated to a 6,200 square-foot building featuring six offices, an expanded showroom, a product shop, and an overflow facility. This expansion significantly enhanced operational capacity, allowing the team to better serve a growing clientele.
In 2022, after successfully navigating the challenges of supporting clients through unprecedented global times, Lightning Equipment Sales rebranded and launched an enhanced web presence, making it faster and easier to serve customers nationwide.
