A quick note on market realities and supporting Canadian business:
​At Metal Plus, we recently started carrying Klondike Lubricants, a high-quality, Canadian-made product line. While many of our customers have made the switch, we frequently hear a common comment: "I paid less last year."
​That’s completely fair, most of us did. However, global market events directly impact raw material and manufacturing costs. While multinational corporations can temporarily insulate prices by drawing from massive inventory reserves, cost adjustments eventually catch up across the board. In many cases, our pricing on Klondike products remains lower than the big-brand alternatives, yet people hesitate simply because costs aren't what they were a year ago.
​Rising costs are an industry-wide reality affecting everyone. This isn't a political statement or a sales push, it’s just an honest reflection of current global supply chain shifts.
​Before reaching for products from multi-billion-dollar international corporations, consider the broader impact of keeping your dollars local. Choosing high-quality Canadian products supports the local economy, independent businesses, and the hard-working people in your own community.
​We appreciate everyone who continues to support local business and quality products!
