Rudsak

Rudsak's Our Story page describes the company as privately owned and headquartered in Montreal, and its 2025 Bill S-211 report is signed by Evik Asatoorian as President and Founder, the same person who launched the brand in 1994. No acquisition, parent company, or outside investor turned up in search, and Corporations Canada has no federal record for Rudsak, consistent with a Quebec provincial corporation; the Quebec enterprise registry (REQ) blocks automated access, so its beneficial ownership record could not be checked directly.

Rudsak's 2025 Bill S-211 report states that production is concentrated in Asia, mainly China for outerwear and also India, with a more limited portion in Portugal and a smaller share in Canada for certain specific activities, drawn from about 54 suppliers. Made in CA corroborates manufacturing in Canada and internationally, so the split here is an estimate from that qualitative description rather than a disclosed percentage.

• Report Under Bill S-211: Fighting Against Forced Labour and Child Labour in Supply Chains Act, 2025 – RUDSAK filing “Production is primarily concentrated in Asia, notably in China for outerwear manufacturing, as well as in India. A more limited portion of production is carried out in Europe, particularly in Portugal, as well as in Canada for certain specific activities.”

The Bill S-211 report states that strategic functions, including design, product development, and brand management, are primarily based in Canada, and the company's head office and in-house atelier are both in Montreal. Rudsak also operates more than 23 branded boutiques described as rooted in Canadian heritage, with a smaller footprint at US retail partners such as Nordstrom, so most of its people are estimated to be Canada-based.

• Report Under Bill S-211: Fighting Against Forced Labour and Child Labour in Supply Chains Act, 2025 – RUDSAK filing “Strategic functions, including design, product development, and brand management, are primarily based in Canada, while manufacturing activities are outsourced to international partners.”

Rudsak does not disclose where its leathers, down, and other materials are sourced, so with manufacturing concentrated in China, India, and Portugal, the materials are assumed to follow that same footprint. The direct storefront runs on Shopify, a Canadian platform, but Rudsak also sells through its own boutiques and wholesale retail partners, so platform dependence is minor; this mix is an estimate rather than a disclosed figure.

• Report Under Bill S-211: Fighting Against Forced Labour and Child Labour in Supply Chains Act, 2025 – RUDSAK filing “The Company collaborates with approximately 54 suppliers, including Tier 1 suppliers responsible for the manufacturing of finished products.”
