Case Study: Reliance Foundry achieves digital transformation and expanded North American distribution with Adobe InDesign

Reliance Foundry - Customer Case Study

Reliance Foundry, a Vancouver-based metal foundry established in 1925, faced shrinking local relevance and stiff competition from overseas manufacturers. To modernize design, marketing, and distribution across North America, the company adopted Adobe Creative Cloud for teams and tools such as Adobe InDesign to digitize product specs, visuals, and promotional materials.

Using Adobe InDesign alongside Photoshop, Illustrator and Premiere Pro, Reliance Foundry centralized license management, produced clearer brochures, manuals, infographics and videos, and scaled digital marketing. The shift helped drive a 35% sales increase in 2015, raised blog traffic share from 5% to 30%, expanded distribution continent-wide (winning clients like the Pentagon and Apple), and reduced administrative overhead—transforming the business into a competitive, 21st‑century supplier.
