Stokes International is one of Canada’s oldest premiere suppliers of military regalia. The Stokes story is one of patriotism and a passionate desire to supply only the finest materials, both apparel and accessories, to the nation’s finest service men and women. The company, which was founded in 1949 by World War I veteran Bill Stokes, has a tradition of excellence born of Mr. Stokes’ own military service and record but also born of the subsequent generations of the Stokes family who have carried on the legacy of service their founder instilled in all of his friends, family members, and employees throughout the year.
While the company has its roots deep in the first half of the 20th century, not just with the founding of the company but also in the roots related to Mr. Stokes’ military service, Stokes International has also found it monumentally important to move along with the times. Even as it retains the dignity and service-oriented model of days gone by, the company is also committed to recognizing the changes taking place in the market that make it necessary as well as a pleasure to use new tools to get the message out that Stokes International simply contains only the best-sourced products for firefighters, police officers, military personnel and other professional first responders.
As a reaction to and recognition of the new changes happening in society, including the propensity for ecommerce, Stokes International launched their ecommerce site, www.stokes-int.com. On the site, customers both old and new can now purchase their favorite necessities and accessories from Canada’s most trusted source of everything from regalia to police gloves to tactical gear to police badges. There is no limit to the wonderful selection of customizable products available from the site. Customers will find it simple not only to shop on the new site, but also to find a wide selection of information on the history of Stokes International as well as contact information on how best to reach a knowledgeable customer service representative at the company.
Keeping up with the times has always been a priority at Stokes International, but the new website is just another way that the company has shown that though it is a historic company it isn’t clinging to the ways of the past. Service people, whether they are police officers, firefighters, military personnel, or EMTs, have embraced the newest technologies in their daily work and it is important that their suppliers do, too. Stokes International is looking forward to seeing what the future brings for the law enforcement, emergency medical and military industries and will no doubt be there to adjust and grow with the times while maintaining a strong sense of tradition.
