Factors

Ownership

CA 100%

Anthem is legally Paradigm Electronics Inc., which the site's own terms and conditions confirm owns and operates AnthemAV.com. Corporations Canada's individuals with significant control register lists co-founder Scott Bagby of Mississauga, Ontario as the sole individual with significant control, holding more than 75 percent of Paradigm's shares indirectly since 2019-05-10, and Paradigm's own history page names him a co-founder of the company in 1982.

Manufacturing

60.0 reported

CA 50% · other 50%

The vendor states that most products are manufactured in Canada, with the MRX/AVM series and MDX series built abroad. Checking each current product page's country-of-origin flag confirms this split roughly in half by product line: 9 of 18 current models are marked made in Canada (the Statement and STR amplifier, integrated amplifier, and preamplifier lines) and 9 are not (the AVM processors, MRX receivers, and MDX multi-room line). The vendor does not name the country for the abroad-built lines, so that share is assumed to fall outside Canada, the US, and the EU.

Both the registered office on file with Corporations Canada and the site's own contact footer place Anthem/Paradigm at 205 Annagem Boulevard in Mississauga, Ontario, and the careers page states that engineering happens at a facility in Ottawa staffed partly by former National Research Council of Canada researchers. No staff location outside Canada is disclosed anywhere on the site.

CA 10% · other 75% · US 15%

The vendor does not disclose where circuit boards, chips, or DACs are sourced. Product pages show CNC-machined aluminum faceplates and surface-mount PCB assembly happening in Canada for the domestically made lines, but the underlying electronic components are not addressed and are assumed to follow the global consumer electronics supply chain centred in Asia. The storefront runs on BigCommerce, a US ecommerce platform, so a small US share is added for that dependency; this split is an estimate.
