“I think the telling factor with Avaline and Fanda/Promo Factory was their commitment to finishing what they started,” said Brent Stone, QCA executive director--operations. “Our growing pool of accredited suppliers, as well as continued progress with new applicants reinforces our belief that companies of any size and any product category can successfully complete the QCA accreditation Process. Client awareness and vigilance regarding safe and complaint products continues to increase, and we are seeing widespread distributor support for QCA efforts.” Stone continued, “We especially appreciate the distributor engagement and feedback on the QCA solutions that will best meet their inbound client needs. We are also encouraged to continue hearing about examples where QCA accredited suppliers are gaining entry into preferred supplier programs due to their compliance efforts with QCA.”
