MTI Groups was established in 2006 with two goals in mind: to support companies who are looking to export their unique products to the North American market and to provide North Americans with easy access to high quality international goods.
Since then, we’ve partnered with world class manufactures to do just that. The truth is that it can be challenging for overseas companies to reach international markets due to product regulations and import standards. Understanding and iterating products to meet government standards can be both time consuming and challenging for overseas companies looking to grow their reach.
As a company, we strive to combat this barrier by guiding overseas companies through the process of quality-assuring their products to North American import standards. We do this by not only partnering with overseas manufactures and walking them through this process from start to finish, but also seeking out South Asian farms to eliminate the steps that smaller businesses must take to grow their market reach.
Currently, over 80% of our imports are from Sri Lanka, with others from India, Pakistan, Thailand, Chile, and the USA.
Our mission also equally benefits North American’s, both those who have lived in North America for years and those who have recently begun to call North America home. We provide the former with easy access to the unique flavors of overseas cuisine, and the latter with the tastes of their home countries.
We currently host our head office in the nation’s capital, Ottawa, with a warehouse in Toronto Ontario serving our Canadian distribution. In order to provide expedited services to our customers in the USA, we also established a branch in 2007 located in New York, (MTI Groups LLC). This branch is now managed by our sister company — Gurudev Imports — who import and distributes products throughout the USA.
In search for a particular international product? Have an international product you’re looking to sell in the North American market? We’d love to hear from you!
