Tayco

Tayco's careers page describes the company as 'a family business,' and a Corporations Canada federal registry search for Tayco Office Furnishings returned zero results, consistent with provincial rather than federal incorporation. The Ontario Business Registry and OpenCorporates were both unreachable behind bot-detection challenges during this check, so a registry confirmation of beneficial ownership could not be completed; no acquisition, parent company, or outside investor turned up in any source reviewed.

Tayco calls itself a modern office furniture manufacturer that has supplied North America from its Toronto operation since 1976, and its site and sustainability report show only one production plant, in Etobicoke. Seating shares the same catalogue and plant references as the rest of the line, but no product page or spec sheet found states a manufacturing location for seating specifically, so a small share is held out as unconfirmed.

• About Tayco - Modern Office Furniture Manufacturer vendor_statement “Since 1976 Tayco has been a modern office furniture manufacturer. Based in Toronto, we supply North America with our high quality workplace furnishings.”

Tayco's 2025 sustainability report puts its team at more than 300 employees, concentrated at the Toronto head office and plant, with the workforce described as drawing from more than 45 birth countries rather than multiple offices. The company also directly employs at least one US-based regional sales manager, so a small share of staff is placed in the US.

Tayco's 2025 sustainability report states materials run 'a minimum of 80%' Canadian content depending on the product, with roughly 15 to 20 percent imported to meet specific requirements, and names Canadian suppliers such as particleboard maker Tafisa and textile maker Duvaltex. The report does not break the imported share down by country, so the US/OTHER split here is an estimate.

• Sustainability Report | 2025 vendor_statement “Tayco strives to use as much Canadian content as possible, with materials ranging from a minimum of 80% depending on the product. Approximately 15–20% of materials are imported to support specific product requirements and ensure consistent quality and availability.”
• Sustainability Report | 2025 vendor_statement “Sourced only from suppliers who support and participate in reforestation programs, including Tafisa, which has been granted Eco-Certified Composite Grademark Program (ECC) Certification.”
