The past year has been a difficult time for so many people across the globe, and the importance of safety equipment has been heavily emphasized. Many people have spent months walking around in masks, and personal protection equipment, including thermometers, wipes, and hand sanitizer, has become even more commonplace than it was in years past. What this past year has shown is that its availability can become scarce, and finding a supplier for safety equipment can become difficult. Toronto-based Top Tier Group, however, founded Top Tier Safety Supplies with the hope that they would be able to make things easier for consumers all over the world.

Pushed Forward by the Pandemic

Led by Chief Executive Officer Michael Theodorou, Top Tier Safety Supplies was founded in March of 2020 as an international exporter and product supplier just as the COVID-19 pandemic began to seriously affect North America. All of the company’s products are shipped from that side of the globe. Now with a strong focus on PPE, the company was originally based around logistics and warehousing. Today, they offer over 20,000 products to customers, which all can be ordered on their website and they have sold over 1.8 billion PPE products throughout the pandemic. 

Popular Products

The company’s ten biggest sellers online include Lysol Wipes, a 50-pack of masks, and vinyl medical gloves. All products in the top ten are sold for less than twenty dollars at their standard price. All items are priced by US dollars, and the company offers free shipping in North America in addition to 24/7 service and a secure payment system. 

Company Goals

Emphasizing security both on their website and in their business practices, Top Tier offered multiple companies and countries enough medical supplies to get them through the toughest months of the past year. Theodorou credits their growth over the last few months to the company’s core values: hard work, transparency, always improving and achieving their goals. “The company’s biggest goal is to offer customers medical and health supplies at a competitive price, and that seems to be working,” he says.

The Covid-19 Vaccine

In addition to medical and safety supplies, Top Tier also officially received MDEL License Level 3 certification in May to help bring COVID-19 vaccines to its clients in Canada. Outside of products that have been popularized by the pandemic, the company also supplies glasses, covers, bags, and skin care products to use, among many other products.

Other Businesses 

In addition to selling thousands of products through Top Tier Safety Supplies, Top Tier Group also operates more than a dozen companies offering innovative solutions, including local and international moving operations. International items can be shipped by Top Tier Airlink or Top Tier Containers by sea. In North America, Top Tier Moving has won multiple awards, including Modern Removals Company of the Year at the 2020 New World Report Awards. Top Tier also operates Mein Haus Staging, a home staging company that helps clients sell their vacant or occupied homes. 

Clients and Promotion

Across all their businesses, Top Tier Group’s client base includes several well-known companies and organizations, including Amazon, Popeyes, and the Government of Canada. On social media, they have a following of well over two million users on Instagram, quickly growing after hitting one million followers just a few months ago. The company has also been featured on several news channels, including The New York Times, CBC News, and Forbes. 

With that exposure, Theodorou, a native Canadian, feels Top Tier’s technology, marketing, and customer service also helps set them apart from similar businesses in the area and around the world. The company has expanded rapidly in the past year and they hope to continue to do so in the future, even after the threat of COVID-19 has diminished, while maintaining their core values.
