History of BPM Trading Company Pty Ltd

BPM Trading Co Pty Ltd was established in 1960 by Bruce Buckton, Alf Patten,
Jack Mogenson & Bruce's Father James Buckton specializing in Paper
Packaging, Knitting Wool & Haberdashery Supplies.

Our original location was in the grounds of the current North Sydney Boys
High School, (corner of Falcon Street & Miller Street North Sydney)

Bruce, his father James and Cousin Jack worked in the business for many
years. They Loved working for the company they had built,
and their customers and staff were like extended family.

Like most family companies the current management grew up helping in the
warehouse collating orders, taking phone orders and doing deliveries after
school and during school holiday, by packing the family cars with orders ( and
later in life with their children too) Delivering across Sydney and often the
family holiday was planned around sales calls and deliveries around NSW &
QLD which helped to grow BPM Trading Company Pty Ltd into the business it is
today.

Our original fleet of vehicles were ex Post Office Vans Hand Painted with
our Company Name. We have come a long way since then to our current fleet of
Trucks, Vans & Distribution Systems Shipping to our Customers Australia
Wide & Internationally.

Our company over the last 60 years has changed & grown with the market
demands. From being a Major Distributor of Knitting Wool's, Zippers,
Haberdashery and Paper Products throughout NSW to our current range of over
35,000 + Products Servicing Large Chains, High Volume Customers, Hospitality,
Aged Care, Childcare, Retail & Industrial markets Australia Wide &
Internationally.

Each Generation has introduced new product ranges to assist in offering our
customers a greater range of products to make it easier for our customer to
order from the one company, because time is money and who has the time to
search the world for what you need, leave that up to us.

After Bruce passed away in the early 90s, his eldest son Robert carried on
the legacy he had built. At this same time there was a shift in the market and
many Haberdashery shops across Australia were closing.

Robert made the decision to expand our current range of food packaging,
paper & washroom products. The opening of Kimberly Clark in Australia
helped to increase our range of washroom supplies. We significantly expanded
our Disposable Food Packaging range by collaborating with Local &
Multinational Manufacturers, offering a wider selection of innovative packaging
options.

We are now one of the 1st and oldest interdependent distributor of Kimberly
Clark Australia's Full range of products (Kleenex, Scott, WypAll, Viva,
Huggies, Depend & Poise) Winning many Distributor Awards over the years.

In the early 90's BPM Trading Company Pty Ltd also purchased Polycane Sales
a Company Owned & Founded by Carl Toovey (Roberts Father In law) This
combined our two family businesses which meant our customers now had access to
Rehabilitation Equipment, Outdoor Furniture, Shade Structures & Material as
well as Hospitality Furniture, Cleaning Trolley's, Catering Trolley's &
Medical Trolley's.

After moving 5 times over the years from North Sydney, Manly, Dee Why to
Cromer in 2013 with the 5th Generation of soon to be born we purchased our
Custom Fitted Warehouse here in Brookvale. The acquisition of our Large
Warehouse provided the additional space we desperately needed. Our warehouse is
always a buzz with daily deliveries from manufacturers and the continuous flow
of orders being packed for our wonderful customers.

Striving to reduce our carbon footprint and enhance the environment through
ongoing improvements to our facilities and vehicles. We now have Solar Panels
installed on our warehouse, LED Lighting, Hybrid Vehicles and Green Space of
Lawn & Gardens.  Our products are ethically sourced from as local as
possible with only environmentally friendly & sustainably products in our
range.

Over the years we have helped our customers through many health crisis from
SAARS (Bird Flu) to Covid-19 our range of PPE even being shipped
internationally to help during pandemics.

We also actively support local volunteer organisations such as Surf Life
Saving, with many of our staff long service volunteer members of Surf Life
Saving Australia.

Stay Tuned because even though our company has been running for over 6
decades our story is only just beginning
