Natural Products NorthWest is supported both by national suppliers from across the county and Canada and also by local and regional suppliers. New enterprises find that the NW show provides a great opportunity to develop markets. We are fortunate to have large distributors and brokers as active supporters and engaged participants in the show. Our best reference is that: our exhibitors continue to return year after year.
