Baffin

Canada Goose Holdings Inc. announced on August 5, 2026 (SEC Form 6-K) that it had agreed to sell Baffin Limited to L.P. Royer Inc., ending the US-influenced Canada Goose ownership (Bain Capital majority voting control) that began in 2018. Royer's own press release, quoting president Simon La Rochelle, confirms the deal closed, and Baffin's own site now states it 'began its next chapter as part of L.P. Royer inc., a Canadian, family-owned footwear company.' Royer's site describes a Quebec company founded in 1934 by Louis-Philippe Royer, still run from Lac-Drolet and Sherbrooke, Quebec. L.P. Royer is privately held; no federal or Quebec corporate registry filing was accessible during this research to verify current shareholders directly, so the CA 1.0 mix rests on the vendor's own statements and trade press rather than a registry record.

Baffin's fiscal year 2026 report under the federal Fighting Against Forced Labour and Child Labour in Supply Chains Act, attested by the President and CEO, states that approximately 30% of products are made in Canada at the Stoney Creek facility and 70% are manufactured overseas in China, Vietnam, Myanmar, and Cambodia. This filing predates the Royer sale but describes the manufacturing footprint as of fiscal year end March 2026, which the brand's continuity under Royer (same Stoney Creek operations, same leadership) gives no reason to think has changed.

• Baffin Limited: Report Pursuant to the Fighting Against Forced Labour and Child Labour in Supply Chains Act, Fiscal Year 2026 filing “As a manufacturer and distributor of cold climate footwear and apparel, approximately 30% of our products are made in Canada and 70% manufactured overseas in China, Vietnam, Myanmar, and Cambodia.”
• Made in Canada - Baffin vendor_statement “A collection of men's and women's winter boots and footwear manufactured in Baffin's Stoney Creek, ON company factory.”

Head office is in Stoney Creek, Ontario, incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario). The FY2026 supply chain filing puts total headcount at 84 'across Canada and our international operations' without a country breakdown, and separately describes 'a Chinese head office with a dedicated local quality control team' overseeing contract manufacturing in Asia. Absent an exact split, this mix assumes most staff are at the Ontario head office and factory with a smaller group in the Asia sourcing office.

• Baffin Limited: Report Pursuant to the Fighting Against Forced Labour and Child Labour in Supply Chains Act, Fiscal Year 2026 filing “Established in 1979, our head office is located in Stony Creek, Ontario. We are incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario). As of March 31, 2026, we employ 84 people across Canada and our international operations.”
• Baffin Limited: Report Pursuant to the Fighting Against Forced Labour and Child Labour in Supply Chains Act, Fiscal Year 2026 filing “In Asia, we have established a Chinese head office with a dedicated local quality control team.”

No registry or filing gives a country breakdown for raw materials such as leather, rubber, and insulation. This mix follows the manufacturing footprint as the best available proxy: mostly Asian sourcing tied to the 70% of production contracted in China, Vietnam, Myanmar, and Cambodia, a smaller Canadian share tied to the Stoney Creek factory, and a small US allowance for cross-border sourcing, since footwear inputs are typically bought close to where the product is assembled.

• Baffin Limited: Report Pursuant to the Fighting Against Forced Labour and Child Labour in Supply Chains Act, Fiscal Year 2026 filing “We utilize a third-party company to audit finished goods factories and raw materials suppliers to ensure their processes and policies are sound and enforced throughout the supply chain.”
