ABOUT
Resource Integrated
Resource Integrated is a leading full-service provider of custom retail merchandising and visual solutions. Founded in 2004, we have continuously pushed the limits of what’s possible to produce outstanding results for our clients. Through our diverse service offering, sure-handed project management and fastidious attention to detail, we have grown productive partnerships with some of Canada’s most respected names in retail.
We take the idea of integration in our company name to heart. While we’ll gladly handle any individual aspect of a project, we excel in bringing all the pieces together to provide seamless execution – from design inception and fabrication to logistics and installation.
It All Started When…
Resource Integrated was founded by Tony Rubino in 2004 as a one-man communication and printing house on wheels (i.e. the office was Tony’s car). Tony’s goal was to leverage his technical and design expertise to support a diversified mix of retail clients. By 2007, Tony’s growing team could no longer fit in his car, so the company opened their first office in Richmond Hill and quickly established a reputation for developing the latest print and digital innovations to support their growing roster of clients.
With an eye forever focused over the next horizon, the company has produced a variety of patented products including their Verde fastframe™ SEG fabric panel system in 2010, and their proprietary ready-to-install mobile device security brackets in 2017.
NEVER HESITATING. ALWAYS INNOVATING.
Like many other businesses, the 2020 worldwide pandemic challenged traditional business models, but Resource Integrated did what it has always done best – they pivoted and rose to the challenge. With large Canadian corporations in need of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for their employees, the company immediately acquired a Health Canada licence and created a new business: Verde Bio Products Incorporated. Since 2020, Verde Bio Products has imported millions of PPE items into the country for Resource Integrated’s valued clients to help keep our communities safe.
Leveraging the popularity and possibility of the company’s incomparable Verde fastframe, Resource Integrated has also conceived a B2C version called FIKA. With FIKA, consumers can upload their own photos to a website and receive a custom-printed SEG fabric panel system that they can hang on their walls at home,
What Makes Us Tick
Our diverse team is united by a common passion to continuously push the limits of what’s possible and produce outstanding results for our clients. We’re perfectionists with the ability to laugh at ourselves, believe in a team-first philosophy and understand success is never owned but always shared around. Our team members have an unquenchable thirst for product innovation and take the spirit of integration in our company name to heart. We work hard, play hard and embrace a philosophy that supports a friendly work/life/family balance.
