Irving Consumer Products

Irving Consumer Products states it is part of J.D. Irving, Limited (JDI), "a family-owned company"; Wikipedia corroborates JDI as a privately owned conglomerate headquartered in Saint John, New Brunswick and part of the Irving family's group of companies. Corporations Canada's federal search did not return usable results for this session, so the claim rests on the vendor's own statement plus the encyclopedia corroboration rather than a registry record.

• About Us vendor_statement “We are part of J.D. Irving, Limited (JDI), a family-owned company that employs over 18,000 people throughout North America.”
• About Us - Royale® is Proudly Canadian vendor_statement “We're a proudly Canadian company... Homegrown, Canadian Owned and Operated.”

Royale, the only brand ICP sells in Canada, is made in Canada: ICP operates 5 tissue plants, 3 in Canada (Saint John and Dieppe, NB, and Toronto, ON) and 2 in the US (Fort Edward, NY and Macon, GA), and Royale's own product pages state Royale bath products are made in Canada. ICP's US plants make the Scotties brand, which the company says serves the US market only, so they were excluded from the mix for the Canadian shelf brand.

• About Us vendor_statement “operates 5 tissue manufacturing plants – 3 in Canada (Saint John and Dieppe, New Brunswick and Toronto, Ontario) and 2 in the United States (Fort Edward, New York and Macon, Georgia).”
• Royale® Bathroom Tissue - Royale® vendor_statement “All Royale® bath products are made in Canada** with domestic and imported materials.”
• Homepage vendor_statement “Royale® operates in Canada offering bathroom tissue, facial tissue, napkins, and diapers, while Scotties® manufactures facial tissue varieties for the United States market.”

HQ is Dieppe, New Brunswick, and 4 of ICP's 6 named facilities are in Canada (3 tissue plants plus a Moncton, NB diaper and training-pants plant) against 2 US tissue plants. No country-level headcount was published for ICP specifically (only JDI's group-wide "18,000 people throughout North America"), so the mix is estimated from facility count rather than confirmed employee figures.

• About Us vendor_statement “We also operate a baby diaper and training pants manufacturing plant in Moncton, New Brunswick.”

ICP's own "From Seed to Shelf" chain names a JDI pulp mill ("hard and softwood kraft pulp") feeding directly into retail tissue including Royale, and ICP says it manages "the entire value chain of paper product production from seed to shelf," pointing to New Brunswick-sourced pulp. Royale's own product page notes its bath products use "domestic and imported materials," so a share is estimated as non-Canadian without a published breakdown.

• Royale® Bathroom Tissue - Royale® vendor_statement “All Royale® bath products are made in Canada** with domestic and imported materials.”
