The current local and international market lack an assortment of finished products crafted and manufactured in The Bahamas. We are known for so many things, but manufacturing. We at Prickle Air Fresheners will change that. We are the generation to make labels printed as "Made in the Bahamas" a commonplace occurrence. What will this means for us as Bahamians? Locally interpreted, it means jobs, infrastructure development, an industry that supports the local market and Tourism.
