Get to know Karen Chester, President, Vallen Canada

As the leader of Vallen, Karen is passionate about fostering a team culture built on engagement, integrity and innovation to deliver an offering of MRO and Industrial solutions that make a meaningful difference.

"When getting to know a new customer, I like to learn about all aspects of their business. I want to know what drives them, what are their pain points, what are their goals, and how can Vallen think differently to develop the right solution for them. Our future strategies are designed around these interactions. 

When I think of what's ahead for Vallen, three things come to mind. Positioning ourselves to grow at the pace of our dynamic environment, enhancing our digital platforms and integration options to meet the future needs of our customers, and growing our branch network and services offering to better serve our customers and the communities in which we live and do business.

These are exciting times, and we're ready for it." - Karen Chester
