• CPSIA • ASTM • GFSI • FDA • GMP • SMETA • BRC • SQF • FAMA • HACCP • ISO • ISTA • PROP 65 • C-T-PAT

We apply our standards, your standards, and U.S. standards to define our North American sourcing strategy.

We are also proud members of the International Consumer Product Health and Safety Organization, who is an international, neutral forum for product safety stakeholders to learn, network and share information.

SUPPLY CHAIN

Insight has a huge network of audited production facilities in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. We prefer to manufacture products domestically for these reasons:

Extensive variety of product capabilities
Lower cost, faster freight
Lower carbon footprint
Inventory warehousing (<3-day transit)
Same day communications
Fewer holiday-related ramifications
Fewer language barriers

Insight also has a preferred network of audited China-based factories.
