Fair Trade, It Matters!

By Krystal Kearnan

Mar 28, 2014



It is up to you to stay informed, and Albarrie Canada can help!

As one of the leading North American textile manufacturer’s specializing in the production of technical needlepunch felts, Albarrie Canada Ltd. has utilized their 30 + years of experience to develop felt products uniquely engineered for you, the North American extruder.

As an ISO 9001:2008 certified company, Albarrie is committed to quality and innovation, and has introduced a program to inform you, our customer, that Fair Trade Matters.
 

Prior to the AEC’s Fair Trade movement, foreign manufacturers, were importing and selling extruded aluminum at margins  well below the LME market price.  Domestic extruders and suppliers could not sustain their business with such a significantly lower margin, which resulted in many plant closures.




 

Being a part of the manufacturing community, Albarrie understands the importance of sustaining our North American Aluminum extrusion industry, and continues to source material using domestic suppliers and vendors which contributes to the overall business health of our neighbours. (Supporting domestic business, promotes more job stability and protection).
 
We, at Albarrie Canada take advantage of our 79,000 sq. ft. North American manufacturing plant to provide you with high quality, high-temperature fabrics from our Defender Series. This in-house capability also allows us to manufacture and ship directly to you, reducing your delivery time and shipping costs
 
Coupled with domestic sourcing, Albarrie has also provided financial contributions to the AEC, supporting their Fair Trade Initiative.
 
Over the next few months, you can expect to see updates from Albarrie to keep you, our customer, informed.
The next time you are in need of performance needlefelt products, ask yourself the question: Where are they being manufactured? Fair Trade, It Matters!
