Ensuring Winter Road Safety with Trusted Suppliers

October 2025

Keeping roads safe during winter relies on effective partnerships with reliable suppliers who provide high-quality materials and services.

The Critical Role of Supplier Partnerships in Winter Road Safety

When it comes to winter road safety, forming a strong partnership with your supplier is crucial. A trusted supplier does more than just provide products; they offer ongoing support, training, and expert guidance to ensure you can effectively implement and manage your winter maintenance strategies. At Innovative Surface Solutions, we pride ourselves on being more than just a supplier. We are your partners in achieving safer roads through effective salt reduction strategies and innovative de-icing solutions.

Selecting Reliable Suppliers for Essential Winter Materials

In the demanding winter months, it is critical to have a supplier who can consistently meet your needs, even during peak demand times. Last winter highlighted the importance of this, with many regions experiencing shortages in white salt, having an alternate tool in your toolbox for winter maintenance is essential. As a reliable supplier Innovative Surface Solutions can provide the necessary materials thanks to our extensive storage capacity and distribution network. With facilities capable of storing over 50 million gallons of liquid de-icers, we ensure that you have access to the products you need when you need them.

Government Standards and Compliance for Winter Road Maintenance

Ensuring that your winter maintenance products comply with industry standards and guidelines is essential. Products should be vetted and approved by third-party organizations like Clear Roads Qualified Products List to guarantee their effectiveness and safety. Innovative Surface Solutions offers products that meet these stringent standards, backed by thorough lab testing to ensure consistency and reliability. This compliance helps municipalities maintain safer roads while adhering to regulatory requirements.

Innovation plays a key role in improving winter road safety. At Innovative Surface Solutions, we leverage our in-house QA/QC teams in both Canada and the United States to maintain the highest quality standards. Our extensive infrastructure includes six liquid terminals and a total storage volume of 157,750,000 liters across North America. This allows us to deliver high-quality, environmentally safer solutions like the ProMelt™ line of premium liquid de-icers that are effective at lower temperatures and reduce environmental impact.
