The work of ‘BC First does not end here. Almost from the time of
commitment to the project, BC First has been busy spreading the

word to those considering a switch to jumbo sized rolls - "Better
designed, better priced British Columbia made dispensers are on
their way - please think BC First!" There are several exciting

postscripts to this story.

Strong interest in high quality well priced dispensers from
British Columbia is being expressed by tissue paper converters in
Eastern Canada and the U.S.A.

Negotiations are underway to lease the moulds to an Australian
converter.

It is estimated that production of dispensers will reach 100,000
in 1988 with an annual value in excess of $500,000. These
dispensers will play a vital role in assisting British Columbian
paper converters displace imports of jumbo rolls from Europe,
estimated at approximately $5 million per year. ‘(Imports into
Canada total $25 million per year.)

BC First is embarked upon a number of import . replacement
initiatives involving such diverse products as uniforms, dress
caps, processed food products, ceramic tableware, traffic cones
and fabricated metal products. Stay tuned!!
