Ontario NAPA associate and electrical distributor Ideal Supply Company held its Northern Trade Show in Barrie, Ont. April 24, and 25, the first of its pair of trade events.

With a Night at the Movies Theme, the event is the first of two trade show events organized by NAPA’s largest associate.

The Northern event was held at the Barrie Molson Centre. The Southern Trade Show will take place May 8 and 9 at the Stratford Rotary Complex in Stratford, Ont.

At the Northern Trade Show, visitors took in a full slate of automotive parts and equipment–as well as strong NAPA program representation–as well as electrical supplies.

Notable at the event was the latest evolution of Ideal Supply’s show floor ordering system, which equips exhibitors with tablets that scan buyer badges and enable exhibitors to enter orders directly into Ideal Supply’s system.
