TAA is an acronym for 'Trade Agreements Act'. TAA compliance is required by certain government bodies to ensure that products they are procuring have been 'substantially transformed' in a signatory country designated by the TAA. The intention of TAA is to encourage manufacturing in countries that are not hostile and enforce workplace safety and employment standards that are inline with North American values. Our LED luminaires (light fixtures) are TAA compliant because our design work, manufacturing, painting, and assembly all take place in Canada with skilled Canadian labour. We also make every effort possible to procure raw materials and electrical components locally, or from other TAA countries. By being TAA compliant, electrical contractors can bid on and win government contracts, which can be a significant source of revenue. TAA compliance also ensures that more money is spent in our local economies which helps to improve the living standards of our fellow citizens.
