Procurement today is about more than just price and delivery. Many organisations are now aligning their purchasing decisions with broader goals—such as ethical sourcing, supplier diversity, and reconciliation.
At Blackwoods, we support this shift by helping customers connect with Supply Nation Certified Indigenous businesses, including suppliers like Geared Up Culcha (GUC Industrial®). These partnerships can support compliance, strengthen procurement strategies, and contribute to broader organisational objectives.
Many government agencies and large corporates adhere to Indigenous Procurement Policies (IPPs) or Reconciliation Action Plans (RAPs). Sourcing from Supply Nation Certified businesses can help ensure that Indigenous procurement spend is recognised and auditable.
Indigenous businesses may offer:
These suppliers operate across a wide range of industries and are subject to the same compliance and quality standards expected in commercial supply chains.
Supply Nation Certification requires that a business is at least 51% Indigenous-owned and controlled. This provides assurance that procurement spend is directed to businesses that meet a clear and consistent standard of Indigenous ownership.
GUC Industrial® is a Supply Nation Certified business offering industrial consumables, including a range of 100% silicone sealants. Products are available through Blackwoods, making it easier to integrate certified Indigenous suppliers into your existing procurement processes.
At Blackwoods, we know that when it comes to silicone sealants, purity is key. Products labelled “100% silicone” are your best assurance of quality—anything less may contain fillers that compromise performance. Reviewing the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) is another smart step; the presence of mineral oils or hydrocarbons is a clear sign the product isn’t pure silicone.
That’s why we stand behind GUC Industrial® products, which come with verified compliance data and test results to give you confidence in what you’re using. Whether you're sealing, bonding or insulating, Blackwoods is here to help you choose the right product for the job—reliably, safely, and with expert support every step of the way.
