Our Story
Niagara River Trading Company (also known as NRTC) is a family-owned wholesale company located in the beautiful Niagara Falls, Ontario, just a short way from the Falls themselves. From humble beginnings in the Hockton's home basement in 1991, the business now operates out of 50,000+ square feet of warehouses with 70+ employees, four automatic screenprint presses, six multi-head embroidery machines, five heat presses, two pad print presses, two automatic magnet presses, and a whole lot of passion.
​
We work with retailers all across Canada; National Parks, Zoos, Aquariums, Historical Societies, Museums, Wineries, Breweries, and independent souvenir shops to name a few.
​
Specializing in apparel, our in house art, screen printing, and embroidery departments allow NRTC to turn concept into reality quickly and efficiently, and churn out thousands of pieces of apparel a day for clients from Newfoundland to British Columbia.
Our exclusive private "River Wear" label apparel also gives us an edge on the competition, providing a fashion-forward line of clothing to be decorated that we keep stock of in our Niagara Falls warehouse.
​
In addition to our vast apparel offerings, Niagara River Trading also has a rich history in imported hardgood items. We offer everything from the classic drinkware, magnets and keychains, to fun novelty gifts including candy, and gemstones!
