We import our pins from a trusted partner in China. Our family owned and operated a lapel pin factory in Alberta, Canada for 30 years which ceased operation in 2002. We work with an importer who has offices in Canada and USA offering us legal protection and the ability to rate our factory on a distributors site.  We have a video that shows you the pitfalls of going China direct. [hint: we remove all that risk and hassle for you!]
