Factors
Ownership
100.0 reportedCA 100%
BC's OrgBook registry shows the trade name Puzzle Lab is owned by Robazzo Design Studio Ltd., a BC company incorporated in 2018 and still active, which matches the vendor's own account of founders Tinka Robev and Andrew Azzopardi starting Studio Robazzo in Victoria in 2014. BC's registry does not disclose individual shareholders the way the federal ISC register does, and no acquisition, parent, or outside investor turned up in searches, so this rests on the vendor's founder narrative plus the registry's confirmation of a Canadian private company.

Inputs

The vendor states its puzzles are cut from MDF made from sawdust left over from other BC wood industries, and that no plastic is used in the product or packaging; the storefront also runs on Shopify, a Canadian platform. The origin of the laser-cutting equipment and any printing inks is not stated, so a small share is left as an estimate for those unverified inputs.
