Paderno

Padinox Inc., which holds the Canadian rights to the PADERNO brand, has been wholly owned by Canadian Tire Corporation, Limited since the acquisition announced May 10, 2017. Canadian Tire's 2025 annual information form lists Paderno among its Owned Brands, and its Billes family co-founders, through two privately held Canadian holding companies, beneficially own or control 61.4% of CTC's voting Common Shares.

Paderno's own site and Canadian Tire's brand page both state the Prince Edward Island plant makes the PADERNO cookware collection today, though the plant's manufacturing and distribution operations were sold to Meyer Canada as part of the 2017 deal, and Meyer's parent is a Hong Kong-based global cookware manufacturer with factories in China, Thailand, and Italy. Bakeware, appliances, knives, tabletop, tools, linens, and coffee equipment carry no country-of-origin claim on either site and are assumed imported, consistent with Meyer's overseas footprint. No SKU count or revenue split is published, so the exact share made in Canada versus imported is an estimate.

• About us – Paderno vendor_statement “The first Canadian PADERNO plant was opened on Prince Edward Island in 1979 and PADERNO continues to produce cookware there today.”
• PADERNO | Canadian Tire vendor_statement “This collection is made in PEI with professional grade imported materials.”
• Canadian Tire Acquiring Padinox, Owner of the Paderno Brand in Canada press “As part of the transaction, the manufacturing and wholesale distribution operations of Padinox Inc., based in PEI, are being sold to Meyer Canada. Meyer is the largest distributor of cookware and related kitchen products in North America, and the second largest cookware manufacturer globally.”
• Meyer Corporation other “Meyer's cookware is manufactured and distributed internationally with factories in China, Thailand and Italy.”

Paderno's privacy policy directs correspondence to Canadian Tire's Toronto head office, matching the head and registered office address in Canadian Tire's 2025 annual information form. As one of Canadian Tire's Owned Brands, Paderno is managed from Toronto; the Prince Edward Island plant is now operated by the separate Meyer Canada, so its workers are counted under manufacturing rather than here. No employee count specific to the Paderno brand is published, so this mix is inferred from the HQ address alone.

• Privacy Policy | Paderno vendor_statement “BY MAIL: c/o Canadian Tire Canadian Tire Corporation, Limited 2180 Yonge Street P.O. Box 770, Station K Toronto, ON M4P 2V8”
• Canadian Tire Corporation, Limited 2025 Annual Information Form filing “The head and registered office of CTC is located at 2180 Yonge Street, Toronto, Ontario, M4S 2B9.”

Canadian Tire's own brand page says the PEI-made cookware collection uses 'professional grade imported materials', so its steel and componentry are not domestically sourced even where the final assembly is Canadian. No supplier country breakdown is published for the cookware line, or for the imported bakeware, appliance, knife, and tabletop lines, so the split across EU, US, and OTHER is an estimate based on Meyer's Asia-heavy manufacturing footprint.
