Kitchener, ON CA · www.krug.ca
Krug Inc. is a Kitchener, Ontario furniture manufacturer founded in 1880, with about 400 employees and all production at its Kitchener facilities, selling only through independent dealers and manufacturer's reps such as Office Interiors in Atlantic Canada. Its 2026 forced labour supply chain filing reports 58 percent of Tier 1 supplier spend in Canada and 30 percent in the United States, with the rest split across Taiwan, China, and a few other countries. No federal corporate record or acquisition turned up, and the Ontario Business Registry could not be reached, so ownership rests on Krug's own filing describing itself as an independent Ontario corporation rather than a confirmed shareholder record.
Factors
Ownership
100.0 inferredCA 100%
Re-verified 2026-09-08. A Corporations Canada federal search for "Krug Inc" returns only two unrelated dissolved entities, Peter Krug Consulting Incorporated (dissolved by the corporation) and Krug Bros Co'y Limited (dissolved for non-compliance), and a search for "Krug Furniture" returns zero results, confirming Krug Inc. is not a federal corporation and has no individuals-with-significant-control register to check. The Ontario Business Registry remains blocked to automation by a bot challenge, per instructions it was not retried. Krug's own site (about, terms of use, privacy policy) makes no ownership, family, or parent-company claim beyond describing itself as "Ontario-based"; its 2026 Bill S-211 filing still describes Krug Inc. as a provincial corporation under the Ontario Business Corporations Act with no parent mentioned. Targeted press search turned up no acquisition, private equity, or family-ownership reporting; a third-party directory (Made in CA) labels Krug "Canadian owned" but cites no source and states no specifics. No source establishes who owns or controls Krug Inc., so Canadian ownership remains this report's best judgment rather than a verified fact.
