ALP: Made in North America

Jan. 17, 2022
North America

Having a local packaging manufacturer is hugely beneficial for many reasons, especially since the surge of supply chain issues. Not only is Associated based in Vancouver, Canada (with additional representation in Ontario!), we’re incredibly proud to share that the vast majority of our suppliers are also based in North America.

Having our suppliers so close allows us to be in better control of quality and a faster turnaround time and reliability than if we sourced from overseas. Moreover, with the rise in popularity of on-demand ordering for various industries, local manufacturers are essential to many businesses.

Another benefit of staying local is that it allows us to reduce the environmental impact of our products. As sustainability has been a massive focus for us over the last decade, this benefit is of huge value to our team.

It's important to note that everyone is facing supply chain issues at this time, as there are global shortages and backlogs in almost all industries. However, our local suppliers allow us to be in the best possible position for dealing with these shortages!
