Co-Manufacturing Facilities

positioned for your success

Headquartered in Toronto, Ontario, Associated Brands has two distribution centers located within a day's drive of most of the Midwestern United States and the Eastern Seaboard, offering optimal distribution to customers throughout North America.

Our two main manufacturing facilities function under MRPII principles, a broader and more sophisticated extension of MRP (Materials Requirement Planning). Each plant is designed to maximize local efficiencies, ultimately passing those savings on to our customers.

Sustainability, responsibility, and conservation

We take great pride in our efforts to operate sustainably and minimize environmental wastes during production. We’re dedicated to the conservation of natural resources in our operations wherever achievable, including water utilization, electrical consumption, and waste reduction, and we have made a conscious effort to lead in social responsibility and ethical business practices by reusing or recycling as much as we possibly can.
