Bouty is a Saint-Léonard, Quebec designer and manufacturer of ergonomic office chairs and lounge seating, founded in 1949 and now grouped with three sister brands, ADI, Perez Furniture, and Modullis, under a Quebec house called Dessana. It reports designing and making its seating at its single Quebec facility and sells direct through shopbouty.com and through dealers. Its current shareholder registry could not be confirmed independently because the Registraire des entreprises du Québec was unreachable.

Bouty's own history page says Eugène Bouthillier founded the company in Quebec in 1949, his daughters led it from 1985, Éric Morin joined as a partner in 2009, and the family exited in 2010 while continuing to collaborate with the new leadership, with no acquisition or outside investor mentioned. Bouty is now grouped with ADI, Perez Furniture, and Modullis under Dessana, which describes itself as uniting four Quebec brands. Corporations Canada's federal registry has no record for Bouty, consistent with a Quebec provincial corporation, and the Registraire des entreprises du Québec blocked automated access, so this rests on the vendor's own account rather than a registry filing.

Manufacturing

Bouty states it has proudly manufactured in Quebec since 1949, and Dessana repeats that the group's products come from Quebec manufacturing. Its adjustable table line's manufacturing location is not separately confirmed on the product pages, so a small share is held back from the chair and lounge seating claim.

Bouty lists a single head office in Saint-Léonard, Quebec as both its contact point and registered address, and its careers page advertises sales, R&D and design, and operations and logistics roles all at that same location, with no other office, warehouse, or showroom disclosed.

Bouty says it prioritizes Quebec and Canadian manufacturers for its raw material purchases and uses FSC-certified wood and CFC-free foam without naming a country for either. Its online fabric catalog mixes Quebec and Canadian mills, such as Duvaltex and Victor, with US mills, such as Guilford of Maine, Momentum, and Mayer, and its shopbouty.com store runs on Panier d'Achat, a Quebec-built e-commerce platform, so the split is an estimate weighted toward Canada.
