Introduction

Every product tells a story, of purpose, of people, and of progress. That’s the spirit behind World Product Day, an annual celebration of the teams, tools, and innovations that shape the products we rely on every day. 

While the day is most often associated with technology and digital product development, at Reliable Group, we believe it’s time to expand that spotlight.  

Because products aren’t just apps or platforms, they’re the physical tools and formulations that clean our communities, support our industries, and enable our infrastructure.  

Product thinking transcends tech it lives in every bin liner, cleaning solution, and industrial chemical that makes the world function reliably. 

From our JanSan distribution division, Reliable Maintenance Products (RMP), to our industrial chemical manufacturing powerhouse, Reliable Industrial Supply (RIS), our teams build and deliver products that are essential, dependable, and deeply impactful. 

Whether it’s the cleaning liquid in a school restroom or a chemical blend used in mining or water treatment, our products are created with care, built on expertise, and made to serve. 

This World Product Day, we spotlight the breadth and brilliance of the products that define The Reliable Group because no matter the industry, a great product changes everything.

The heart of clean: Reliable Maintenance Products (RMP) 

At the core of cleanliness, safety, and everyday hygiene across countless institutions and businesses is a silent but powerful force: JanSan products and that's where RMP thrives. 

As the distribution arm of Reliable Group, RMP specializes in delivering high-quality janitorial and sanitation solutions to a wide range of environments, including schools, hospitals, government facilities, commercial buildings, businesses and industrial sites.  

Our mission is simple but vital: to ensure every facility has exactly what it needs to maintain hygiene, safety, and operational excellence with zero guesswork and total dependability. 

With deep expertise in assessing and servicing facility needs, our team doesn’t just ship products, we help our clients choose the right ones.  

From identifying the optimal bin bags, toilet tissue, and dispensers, to recommending the best cleaning liquids and disinfectants for their unique environment, we provide tailored solutions that elevate cleanliness and compliance. 

Beyond institutional supply, RMP proudly serves individuals and smaller businesses through our walk-in store, where community members can shop for trusted JanSan products.  

For added convenience, customers can also browse and purchase online, with prompt delivery ensuring they get what they need when they need it. 

Whether it’s a high-traffic school hallway or a high-risk medical facility, Reliable Maintenance Products brings: 

• A deep and diverse product catalog 
• Reliable logistics and on-time delivery 
• Unwavering commitment to quality, safety, and regulatory compliance 

 At RMP, we don’t just distribute cleaning supplies, we help people and places stay confidently clean. 

Reliable Industrial Supply (RIS): Precision chemistry for industrial performance 

Every high-performing product starts with the right formulation and at RIS, we don’t just follow the science. We build it. 

 As the manufacturing engine of Reliable Group, RIS specializes in producing a wide range of industrial-grade chemical products that serve both everyday cleaning needs and highly specialized industrial applications.  

From custom-blended sanitation solutions to complex chemical formulations for heavy-duty sectors, RIS delivers precision, performance, and reliability at scale. 

What we produce: 

RIS's product categories are diverse yet deeply focused. We manufacture: 

• JanSan chemical formulations that power sanitation across sectors 
• Solutions for tunneling, pulp and paper, mining, water treatment, and custom blending. 
• Flexible and responsive custom blending services, built to meet client-specific technical specs 

This breadth allows RIS to serve not just one, but many sectors with solutions that address both frontline sanitation and deep industrial challenges. 

Synergy in Action: RMP + RIS 

At Reliable Group, we don’t just manufacture products or distribute them, we do both. That dual capability creates a strategic synergy between our divisions: RMP and RIS. Together, they form a tightly aligned, end-to-end product ecosystem that delivers exceptional value to our customers. 

One of the most compelling examples of this collaboration is that RMP is not just a sister company to RIS, it’s also a client.  

Many of the high-performance cleaning chemicals produced by RIS are integrated directly into RMP’s JanSan product catalog.  

This closed-loop supply chain gives us exceptional control over quality, compliance, and consistency, while also reducing lead times and improving agility for our clients. 

What this means for our customers 

• Greater reliability in sourcing: Products move from formulation to fulfillment without third-party dependencies. 
• Faster delivery: Direct access to RIS’s production lines means RMP can fulfill large or urgent orders quickly. 
• End-to-end product knowledge: Because we both manufacture and distribute, we can support our clients with deep technical insights and hands-on expertise. 
• Customization potential: RMP can work with RIS to develop custom solutions based on client feedback, blending innovation with on-the-ground needs. 

 This kind of integrated operation is rare in the JanSan and industrial supply space and it’s one of Reliable Group’s greatest strengths. We aren't just a supplier or a maker. We're a product partner, from concept to container, from formulation to front door. 

Culture of innovation 

Driving our commitment to improvement is a culture that rewards curiosity, initiative, and problem-solving.  

Across both RIS and RMP, innovation isn’t siloed in R&D, it’s embraced by everyone from our chemists to our warehouse and field service teams. We believe in creating space for experimentation, encouraging new ideas, and giving our people the tools and autonomy to bring those ideas to life. 

 One standout example of this is our pioneering use of drone technology for window cleaning making us one of the very first companies in Northern Ontario to adopt such a solution.  

This advancement not only improves safety for workers by minimizing the need for high-elevation access, but also increases efficiency, coverage, and consistency in building maintenance for large institutions.  

It’s the kind of innovation that blends smart technology with Reliable’s core mission: delivering clean, safely and effectively. 

 Whether it’s cutting-edge drone applications or incremental formulation upgrades, our culture supports a simple but powerful question: “how can this be better?” 

 And every day, our teams work together to find the answer. 

As we celebrate World Product Day, we also look forward, toward a future defined by even greater impact, innovation, and intention. 

 At Reliable Group, our roadmap isn’t just about adding new products. It’s about deepening the value of what we already do best: making and moving the solutions that keep people safe, industries running, and communities clean.   

That means: 

• Continuing to invest in sustainable chemistry 
• Expanding our digital presence to reach more customers 
• Leveraging emerging technologies to refine how we serve 
• Building new partnerships across industries we understand deeply, from sanitation to mining, from education to infrastructure. 

Conclusion 

At its core, World Product Day celebrates the quiet power of good products, the ones that just work, that solve real problems, that make daily life easier, safer, or more efficient.  



At Reliable Group, those products are everywhere: in schools and clinics, on shop floors and tunnels, in packaging, on shelves, and under sinks. 

From the cleaning liquids that uphold public health, to the industrial chemicals that fuel infrastructure, Reliable’s end-to-end product excellence spans industries and touches lives. 

 This isn’t just a day of recognition for us. It’s a chance to reaffirm our promise, to build and deliver the kinds of products the world can rely on.
