February 6, 2026 – Big K Clothing’s ownership group has acquired RAM International, bringing together two established suppliers serving Canada’s B2B safety and workwear market. brbr
The move positions Big K as a more comprehensive safety supplier, expanding its capabilities beyond high-visibility apparel into first aid and workplace safety products. RAM First Aid customers will continue to receive the same trusted products and support, now backed by Big K’s distribution network and experience in safety workwear. brbr
The combined offering is expected to strengthen service for distributors, decorators, and resellers seeking consolidated sourcing and broader safety solutions from a single partner. brbr
With workplace safety continuing to be a priority across construction, industrial, transportation, and service sectors, the acquisition aligns with growing demand for integrated product solutions. brbr
Big K’s established presence in hi-vis apparel and RAM International’s expertise in first aid and safety supplies create new cross-category opportunities for distributors and promotional product professionals serving corporate and industrial clients. brbr
What This Means for Distributors and Resellers
- Continuity you can trust: RAM First Aid products remain available and supported through the transition
- Expanded B2B focus: Broader safety solutions under experienced Canadian ownership
- More sales opportunities: Cross-selling hi-vis safety wear and first aid from one network
- Simplified sourcing: One relationship for a wider range of safety products
The acquisition reflects ongoing consolidation and specialization within the safety and workwear segment, as suppliers look to streamline procurement for customers and strengthen their value proposition to the promotional products channel. brbr
More details on product availability and distribution integration are expected in the coming months.
