MotionGrey

The vendor repeats "Canadian Owned. Canadian Operated. Since 2018" across every page and its Our Story page names two UBC engineering students, Andy and Alex, as founders, with no surnames or corporate name given. Searches of Corporations Canada's federal registry and BC's OrgBook for "MotionGrey" and "Motion Grey" returned no matching entity, so the legal name and ownership structure could not be confirmed against a registry, and a Bing search for acquisition or private equity news turned up nothing to contradict the vendor's claim.

The vendor's Our Story page says the founders set out to "source" affordable standing desks rather than build them, and its Commercial page states desks use "German-manufactured dual Bosch motors," but names no country for the frames, tabletops, or chairs. The madeinca.ca directory lists MotionGrey's manufacturing as "Germany (motors) and overseas," so the mix credits the motors to the EU and treats the rest of the finished product as made outside Canada, the EU, and the US.

The vendor's shipping page lists warehouses in Richmond, BC and Richmond Hill, ON, plus a Richmond showroom, and its LinkedIn company page puts headquarters at the Richmond warehouse address with 11 to 50 employees. No overseas office or team was found in any source checked.

The one named input the vendor discloses is the dual Bosch motor, made in Germany. Steel frames, tabletops, and chair components are not sourced by the vendor's own pages, and the madeinca.ca directory's "overseas" label points to Asia for the rest, so the split is an estimate weighting the motor as a meaningful share of a standing desk's material cost. The storefront runs on Shopify, a Canadian platform, which gets a small Canadian credit.
