SAINT-JEAN-SUR-RICHELIEU, Quebec, July 07, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Today, Logistik Unicorp (Logistik) announces the completion of a cross-country Canadian supplier tour in support of its offering for the government’s upcoming Operational Clothing and Footwear Consolidated Contract (OCFC2). Focusing on the country’s major manufacturing hubs, the supplier tour included five stops in total (Vancouver; Winnipeg; Toronto; Montreal; and Halifax) and resulted in over 100 new contacts for Logistik.
“The intent of the supplier tour was two-fold,” said Louis Bibeau, founder and president of Logistik Unicorp. “We wanted to raise awareness about the OCFC2 program and the opportunities it will bring to Canadian industry and in doing so, expand Logistik’s Canadian supply chain. Strengthening the country’s clothing and textile sector is very important to us and helping companies understand how to use programs like OCFC2 as a base to grow, diversify and access other markets is critical to the success of the sector at large.”
Logistik worked alongside Canada’s federal regional economic development agencies (RDAs) to organize the regional events and facilitate meetings with a wide range of companies. The events proved mutually beneficial as both groups worked towards the common objective of leveraging OCFC2 as a means of bringing new opportunity to all regions across the country.
“The breadth and depth of expertise residing in clothing and textile companies across this country is energizing,” added Mr. Bibeau. “We’re motivated by what we’ve seen and heard from Canadian suppliers and we’re now more confident than ever in our Canada First approach. Logistik’s managed clothing solution for OCFC2 will not only create new, long-term jobs in Canada, it will support sustainable growth efforts for the sector for years to come.”
Logistik’s team will continue to meet with potential suppliers and visit facilities over the next few months. Interested suppliers that were unable to meet with Logistik are encouraged to make contact and register on the team’s new supplier registration page at: www.OCFC2.com.
