KITS "KITS" or the "Company"), a rapidly growing, vertically integrated eyecare platform, today announced that it has launched a partnership together with Green Shield Canada (GSC), one of the country's largest health benefits carriers and a leader in healthcare innovation.

All prescription eyeglasses are produced at KITS' state-of-the-art optical lab in Vancouver, B.C. , allowing KITS to manufacture and ship throughout Canada , often in as little as one business day. Recently, KITS announced record breaking numbers, more than doubling year-over-year manufacturing, while also delivering 30% of revenue from repeat customers with NPS scores of 80+. KITS offers eyecare products on KITS.ca and KITS.com, and also through their Fulfillment by KITS (FBK) platform that connects health care companies, retailers, and corporations to the KITS infrastructure of product, manufacturing and fulfillment.

Canadians have high expectations when it comes to healthcare, and eyecare is no exception. We've built a first of its kind integrated experience here that marries the KITS standard for quality, selection and value in optical, with GSC's commitment to innovation, affording members more access and maximum value out of their insurance benefits. It sets a new bar within the category."
