Trimark, a division of PCNA (PPAI 113079, Platinum), and Redwood Classics Apparel (PPAI 696010), have announced their first Made-in-Canada collaboration.


The partnership, which celebrates Trimark’s 50th anniversary, launches an exclusive fleece collection and upcycled mittens created specifically for the Canadian promotional marketplace. Inventory will be available through Trimark in mid-December.

Partnering with Trimark expands the possibilities of local production and amplifies the environmental and creative solutions our industry can offer.”
