Avaline, Parsippany, N.J., announced it has been awarded accreditation by the Chicago-based Quality Certification Alliance (QCA). Avaline successfully passed a comprehensive three-day headquarters audit of its product safety, quality, social compliance, environmental practices and supply chain security, including a review of its internal processes, as well as audits of several of its factories in China. Avaline is one of a select group of suppliers that has achieved this certification. “As a founding company of the Quality Certification Alliance LLC, we are committed to providing the promotional products industry with safe products made in socially and environmentally compliant factories,” said Sam Hornstein, Avaline’s COO.
In addition, Avaline announced it will launch a new drinkware line in May. Included are 12 popular styles that range from stainless travel mugs and tumblers to colorful and sleek sport bottles. “The emphasis was to start our drinkware line with a nice selection of styles, but more importantly ample inventory and aggressive pricing,” said Len Hornstein, CEO of Avaline. “Along with our award-winning customer service and recent QCA accreditation, we expect that this new addition to our broad array of quality products will make Avaline a ‘go-to’ supplier for distributors.”
