What Woodland Associates does

Woodland Associates Inc. is a family-owned, full-service commercial printing and promotional products company founded in 1992 by Sue Ann Doerksen and headquartered in a 19,000 sq. ft. secure facility in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada. The company serves B2B clients across an integrated service stack spanning concept and creative design, commercial printing (sheet-fed, web, digital, variable data, screen, flexography, large format), custom promotions and displays, packaging and kitting, daily order fulfillment, and warehousing with distribution. Supporting technology includes an online customer portal with real-time inventory tracking and order management, broad print production equipment, and access to the ASI promotional product catalogue.

Revenue is generated across five streams: commercial printing (per-project pricing), promotional products (one-off purchases), fulfillment (per-order fees), warehousing and distribution (managed services), and packaging and kitting (professional services). Go-to-market is consultative and sales-led with custom quote-based pricing tied to project specifications; lead capture occurs via the website contact form and ongoing relationships are managed through the customer portal. Marketing is limited to the company website and organic social presence on Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn. The company employs approximately 8 people, including the founder as President, and operates as a privately held, non-institutional-backed business with no disclosed funding, M&A, or leadership changes.
