Proudly Independent & 100% Canadian-Owned
The Thomcat Advantage
We aren’t some faceless corporate dealership where you’re just an account number in a massive database. We are a fiercely independent, 100% Canadian-owned small business. Why does that matter to you? Because we intrinsically understand the hurdles other small businesses face.
When you call Thomcat Equipment, you don’t get bounced around a national call center. You speak directly to seasoned industry veterans right here in the Westshore. We cut through the red tape and eliminate the runaround.
Whether you’ve been doing business with us since the 80s or you’re looking for a new equipment dealer you can actually trust, we’re ready to get to work. Let’s build a lasting partnership!
Our History
Deep Roots in Victoria and Vancouver Island
Thomcat Equipment wasn’t built in a corporate boardroom; it was built on sweat equity, long hours, and a genuine understanding of the local trades. Founded in 1989 by Darryl and Tony Stroink, our business started with a simple goal: to provide reliable equipment and honest, straight-talking service to the contractors, owner-operators, and hobbyists of Vancouver Island.
Almost 40 years later, the community has changed, but our core philosophy hasn’t. We have grown right alongside the businesses of Langford, Victoria, and the broader Island. We know the local terrain, we know the BC weather, and we know exactly what it takes to keep your equipment running hard day after day.
