| Greater Sudbury | Crosscut Distillery | Within 24 hours, Crosscut Distillery transitioned from a local distillery producing vodka and gin, to a sanitizer manufacturer. It was clear very early on that there was an extreme shortage of hand sanitizer for cities across North America, and distilleries around the country were stepping up to provide hand sanitizer to health care workers, essential service workers and the general public across their communities. Crosscut Distillery was fortunate to have the resources to do so, and donated thousands of bottles across Northern Ontario to those in need. We will continue to produce, package and sell sanitizer to the general public, local businesses and health care providers as long as needed. Our sanitizer varies in sizing, from 5 gallon buckets to 60ml bottles, and more inbetween. It is available for purchase online and curbside. Please send wholesale inquiries to info@crosscutdistillery.ca. | info@crosscutdistillery.ca | https://crosscutdistillery.ca/pages/sanitizer |
