Hand Sanitizer Production in Canada and Colombia

Hunter Amenities is currently producing its alcohol formula hand sanitizer in Colombia and alcohol-free formula hand sanitizer at their Canadian branch in Burlington, Ontario. Hunter has been conducting business in Colombia for the past 4 years. The Alcoholic sanitizer is produced with 100% of Colombian raw materials. Colombia is known for its fertile lands that produce exceptional quality raw materials. The manufacturing facility is a small eager company in the amenities arena wanted to work with Hunter Amenities. This is a prime example of the importance of global partnerships. They bring value and opportunity to businesses. Even with the COVID-19 situation, we must continue to work on a global scale.

Recently the Canadian Government underscored its commitment to supporting the international community to face this crisis that does not recognize borders and that can only be overcome through coordinated actions. The Canadian embassy in Colombia announced that it will donate $ 340,000 to the Ministry of Health and Social Protection, to support the program of that portfolio that answers concerns about Covid-19 through telephone channels and digital platforms. The funds will allow the hiring of 42 new telephone operators and telemedicine experts, who will provide information, advisory and counseling services, and will identify cases that require care in hospital centers.

The Canadian Cosmetic Cluster asked Hunter Amenities how they are helping the hotel industry and the airline industry with the reopening procedures. Their answer, the new Hunter Hand Sanitizer Kits. Hunter Amenities Vice President of Sales, David Price said the following, "Our PPE kits upon check-in will provide comfort to guests and keep them safe. Also, sanitizer personal size in the guest room is a great extra perk. Hunter is also expanding into wipes and masks to aid the returning workforce in hospitality." Hunter is also working with airlines to support their sanitizer needs. A Canadian company truly dedicated to helping the world with sanitization, in time of need.
