Creating A Strong Culture

Developing an all-inclusive, family like culture, is at the core of our organization and sets us apart from our competitors. Telman and Canteen prides itself on being different, and utilizing our flat organizational structure for unprecedented outcomes and accomplishments. We never stop thinking of new and better ways to impact the lives of our team, clients, and consumers every day.

Our Foundational Blueprint To Success

As a small wholesale business in a highly competitive industry, service and the standards we practice are at the core of our foundational structure. With this, we’ve made sure to have a way for our customers to contact us 24/7. Whether that be by phone or by email, it is important for us to have a channel available to help customers with any and all questions they may have. Today, we have on-site customer representatives answering phones from 5am to 5pm, Monday through Friday. Have a problem with your account or order? We are here to help; and our support team is trained to fix any problem that a valued customer has. Outside of these business hours, customers could send our support team an email, and have a response within minutes. Our team is continuously evolving how we help our customers, and finding new ways to prevent problems from occurring. Any company could distribute supplies, and there are many who do; but it’s how we go about it that makes Telman different. Our company was founded on four core values, which are at the foundation of how we operate as an organization.
