Factors
Ownership
100.0 reportedCA 100%
Keilhauer states it has been privately owned since its 1981 founding, and its leadership page lists Michael Keilhauer as CEO and Steve Keilhauer as vice president of product development, consistent with continued family control. Corporations Canada's federal registry returns zero results for Keilhauer, so it is not incorporated federally, and the Ontario Business Registry's public search is blocked by bot detection this session could not pass, so ownership rests on the vendor's own statement rather than a registry filing.

Every Keilhauer page names one operating address, 1450 Birchmount Road in Scarborough (Toronto), Ontario, used for its head office, customer service, and its 2025 Corporate Sustainability Report, and no second production site appears anywhere on the site; the Chicago and New York locations are showrooms only. Its Scarborough food bank donation and Toronto Bee Rescue partnership corroborate that operations are local to that facility.

All three current job openings on Keilhauer's careers page are based in Toronto, and the head office, customer service line, and manufacturing address are all in Scarborough, Ontario. The company also staffs small showrooms in Chicago and New York, so a minority of employees are in the United States; no total headcount or location breakdown is published, so the split is an estimate.

Keilhauer names steel, aluminum, and wood as its core materials and buys Green-e renewable energy credits from Canadian wind and North American hydro projects, but it does not disclose the country of origin for its raw materials. Its named textile partners span the UK (Camira wool), the US (HBF Textiles, Momentum Group), and its own in-house lines, so with a single Ontario manufacturing site the mix is estimated as mostly North American with a European share from textile partners rather than a published figure.
