Coo-Mon and Les Produits du Québec
Coo-Mon products have earned the Manufactured in Québec certification mark as part of a partnership between the Conseil des métiers d’art du Québec and Les Produits du Québec, launched in December 2024.
“Buying local for me is a concrete way to support the local economy and the people behind the products. Every purchase becomes an act that promotes our communities’ artisanship, creativity and sustainability. As a company that manufactures its accessories in Montréal, obtaining a certification like Les Produits du Québec is a way to clearly demonstrate our commitment to local production and to highlight the work done here. Plus, Les Produits du Québec program makes it easier for consumers to identify businesses that actually make things here. It provides transparency and builds trust in local brands.”
