30 May 2022 - 9:30PM
Unisync Corp.(“Unisync") (TSX:"UNI")
(OTCQX:“USYNF”)") is pleased to announce that its wholly owned
subsidiary Unisync Group Limited (“Unisync Group”) took home an
industry leading six(6) Image of the Year Awards, including the
highly prestigious “Best of the Best”, at the North American
Association of Uniform Manufacturers and Distributors (“NAUMD”)
annual convention in Reston, VA. This marks the third time in the
last five years that Unisync Group has been given the “Best of the
Best” award, which is presented to the highest scoring entry across
all category winners in recognition of overall excellence.
Unisync Group’s exclusive apparel program for
WestJet took the night’s top prize of Best of the Best and also won
for the best program in Transportation – Aviation. Unisync Group
was selected as WestJet’s new uniform partner in early 2018 and has
been working closely with Australian designer Juli Grbac, who was
selected by WestJet to align the new program with its brand,
vision, and corporate culture for its over 10,000+ uniformed
domestic and international employees. The completely refreshed
collection was built around a foundation of safety, while also
ensuring the use of high-quality materials, a more tailored fit,
washable suiting pieces, and a more elevated and identifiable
aesthetic design. The new uniform collection has been certified to
STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX®, which is a first by a Canadian airline.
STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX® ensures that garments meet or exceed
global safety standards with regard to harmful substances. Not only
are finished garments tested and certified, but every single raw
material and supplier is tested and audited before the finished
garments are even manufactured.
Other awards included: Tim Hortons in the
Restaurants & Food Service - Quick Service Restaurants
category; Shoppers Drug Mart in the Retail - Pharmacy & Grocery
Stores category; TELUS in the Services – Construction category; and
Bell in the Manufacturing – Technology category.
