Product Quality & Safety

 

Built Different. Built Here.

At STIX, every wooden stick starts right here in Brantford, Ontario — crafted with Gold Standard materials sourced mainly from Canada and the USA. Because quality gear starts with trusted materials and a commitment to doing things the right way.

We use Nazdar 7200 series lead-free inks from Shawnee, Kansas and Chemcraft AkzoNobel paint from Port Hope, Ontario. Our laminates come from Armtex (Magog, Quebec), Georgian Bay Fabrics (Midland, Ontario), and A&P Technologies (Cincinnati, Ohio) — partners that share our obsession with performance and precision.

Our Cambridge, Ontario facility runs under some of the strictest labor and environmental standards out there. Sure, it costs more to build our sticks here — but that’s the price of peace of mind.

Because when you choose STIX, you’re not just getting a product — you’re backing North American craftsmanship, safety, and integrity that’s built to last.
