Purolator

Purolator is Canada's largest courier and freight network, moving millions of packages weekly through more than 175 operating facilities across the country. Founded in 1960 and now employing over 14,000 people, the company provides parcel delivery, freight forwarding and integrated supply chain management to businesses and communities, including remote locations that other carriers do not serve. Its work spans business documents, medical shipments and consumer packages.

The physical and technical scope of the operation is substantial. Technical domains include transportation and logistics network operations, hub facility infrastructure and automation, electric vehicle fleet technology, supply chain management systems and package tracking. The company has invested billions in infrastructure, technology and sustainable solutions, among them an electric vehicle fleet.

Purolator describes its purpose in terms of reliability: keeping customer promises with every delivery and, in its own words, recognising that "at the end of every tracking number is a person counting on us". The business has grown from a two-person operation into a national employer, and states a focus on enabling Canadian businesses to compete globally.
