Starfrit

Starfrit's own 50th anniversary and about us pages describe Atlantic Promotions Inc as a Quebec owned and founded company created in 1965 by founder Jacques Gatien with two associates, language the site still used in 2023. Corporations Canada's federal registry returns no result for Atlantic Promotions or Starfrit, consistent with a Quebec provincial incorporation, but Quebec's Registraire des entreprises blocks automated access, so current shareholders could not be confirmed against a registry.

The vendor's inventor page says its network of worldwide relations for manufacturing matches the best possible resources here in Canada and abroad, without a country breakdown, while its product pages market items as designed in Canada or conçus au Québec rather than made there. Kitchenware, small electrics, and food storage in this category are typically manufactured in Asia, and Starfrit also distributes the South Korean LocknLock line, so the split is an estimate weighted toward manufacturing abroad.

• Inventors vendor_statement “A network of worldwide relations represent a rich pool of resources in both creative development and manufacturing. Matching the best possible resources here in Canada and abroad greatly accelerates the development phase of working prototypes for market studies.”

The vendor does not disclose where materials for its cookware, small electrics, or food storage come from. Manufacturing is concentrated abroad per the inventor page, and the distributed LocknLock line is South Korean, so materials are assumed to follow manufacturing and the split is an estimate.
