Claude Picard - President, Husqvarna Canada “When we approached Supply Chain Alliance, we needed to make a thorough assessment of our whole logistics structure in Canada.

We have been working hand in hand with SCA, and they have proven themselves as a strategic and valued business partner for Husqvarna Canada.” Susan Promane - Director, Supply Chain, Whirlpool Canada “Over the last year we have utilized the services of SCA as we have been implementing our new national distribution network.
