JJS Inc. Canada stands for respect & integrity for all. We make conscious efforts to be better for our community and for those who contribute to it. We have been in the business for about four decades and this beautiful untold story began 15 years ago. We never spoke about until now but we hope that those like us and around us will be inspired by this message. We wish to contribute to our society with a goal of achieving the greater good.

Two weeks ago, we visited one of our packaging warehouses in Quebec. Now this is not a regular warehouse but a really special one. You must be thinking what makes it so special– It’s the people.

These warehouse workers at Groupe Aptas are people living with functional limitations and despite all that they continue to be assets to the labor market. Ms. Huguette Lemay, the supervisor gave our employees a tour of the entire premises.

There are about 40 specially abled people who work on retail packaging of sia Abrasives products.
JJS warehouse workers send the products, the packaging and the labels, all marked by steps 1, 2 and 3 in different boxes.

Then these beautiful souls pack each piece by hand with perfection.

Ms. Lemay told us that most of them like to come in work so much that they would ask for extra shifts all the time. This warehouse is clearly their happy space. And we find ourselves extremely lucky to be a part of their happiness.

Every time you buy one of our products from a retailer, remember to think about these amazing people who brought each piece to you with a personal touch.

We take immense pride in talking about what sets us apart. It is our products, our partners and our people. And now you know why that’s true.
