Ganz

Ganz describes itself as a privately held family company headed by the founder's grandson Howard Ganz, and its 2026 S-211 filing states it is a partnership of two Ontario corporations headquartered in Woodbridge. Corporations Canada lists only Ganz family foundations under the name, so the operating entities are provincial, and the Ontario Business Registry could not be reached to confirm their names and shareholders.

Ganz calls itself an importer, wholesaler and distributor whose products are sourced from around the world and shipped to Toronto, with product development monitored from its Far East operations headquarters in Hong Kong and support offices in China. Its S-211 filing describes production at approved vendor factories and bars sourcing from Xinjiang, and no product line made in Canada, the US, or Europe was found, so the whole mix is placed outside those regions.

Headquarters, product development, customer service, and the import warehouse are all at 1 Pearce Road in Woodbridge, while Ganz USA LLC in Marietta, Georgia, the former Midwest-CBK operation in Minnesota, and a sales force across the United States make up the US side, and Hong Kong and Shanghai offices handle sourcing. Ganz publishes no headcount by country, so the split is an estimate weighted to the Canadian head office and warehouse.

The S-211 filing states that vendors identify and source the materials and components for each item at their factories, which Ganz oversees from Hong Kong and China, so fabric, fill, and giftware materials are treated as Asian. The small Canadian and US shares cover the company's own eStore platform and shipping through Canada Post and USPS, and are an estimate since Ganz publishes no material origins.
