On April 10, PBE Distributors hosted its 35th Anniversary Trade Show & Expo at Hilton Meadowvale Mississauga, just west of Toronto.

This event has become a staple on the calendar for the collision repair and jobber industry, and it didn’t disappoint. 

Far and wide

Attendees from across Ontario had the chance to visit 105 vendors, who made the trip from across Canada, the U.S. and as far away as Germany. A total of 233 jobber staff attended this year’s special event and to commemorate the anniversary, there was a special cake. 

Special cake celebration

Not only did this celebrate 35 years of PBE servicing the Eastern Canadian PB &E markets, but the cake also paid homage to Brian Eddy, PBE’s very first employee who opened the company’s original warehouse back in 1990.

Autosphere Media attended the event and brings you some of the highlights from this very special occasion for both PBE and the Canadian collision repair and body shop industry.
