Top Tier Group Gets in on PPE Craze to Sell Billions
Top Tier Group is a Toronto, Canada-based international exporter and product supplier. Through innovation and adaptability, they’ve expanded rapidly to offer a variety of services and over the past year, they’ve gotten in on the surge in demand for personal protective equipment, also known as PPE, that was caused by the pandemic. Under the name Top Tier Safety Supplies, the company now offers more than 20,000 safety products to customers around the world.
PPE Sales
Personal Protective Equipment, or PPE, has become a very popular term over the past year, as the need for things like masks and gloves increased in an attempt to stop the spread of COVID-19. Led by Chief Executive Officer Michael Theodorou, Top Tier began focusing on those products in March and today they’ve sold close to two billion total PPE products to all of their customers.
Popular Products
Top Tier sells all of their products through a Shopify website. Masks, gloves, and sanitizing wipes are among the most popular products sold. Theodorou feels that even as people get vaccinated, Top Tier will still be able to be successful selling these products. “We’ll obviously adapt as the customers do, but I think there will always be a need for those products,” he explains.
Company Goals
Top Tier sold PPE to multiple companies and countries over the past year, including the Thailand Board of Investment. No matter who they’re working with, Theodorou emphasizes the company’s values of hard work, transparency, and striving for improvement. “We want to constantly be getting better, both with how we operate and what we’re offering,” he explains. “That’s how you keep up with the competition.”
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
When they’re not 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.
Top Tier hopes that this kind of exposure in major outlets will help the company to continue to expand at the rapid rate that they’ve seen over the past year. Even as the world tries to get past COVID-19, Theodorou expects the company’s growth to continue. “We’re a confident group and we know that we can serve people,”. “In what way we serve them all comes down to adaptability and that’s something that’s extremely important to us.”
