Verity Audio is a Quebec City maker of luxury loudspeakers and electronics founded in 1995 by Bruno Bouchard and Julien Pelchat, who still leads the company as of a 2023 product launch. Cabinets, filters, and final assembly are done by a small team at its own Quebec facility, using speaker drivers sourced from Denmark and wiring, connectors, and cabling from the United States. The company acts as its own distributor in Canada and sells through named distributors in other countries; no independent Canadian retail dealer could be confirmed.

Factors

Ownership

100.0 reported

CA 100%

Verity Audio Inc. was co-founded in 1995 by Bruno Bouchard and Julien Pelchat, and a 2023 press release for the Florestan loudspeaker still names Pelchat as founder and CEO, with no acquisition, parent company, or outside investor turning up in searches. The Registraire des entreprises du Quebec, which would hold the definitive ownership record for this Quebec corporation, returned a 403 on every attempt, so this rests on the vendor's own site and press rather than a registry filing.

A factory-visit profile describes cabinet construction, crossover filter design, and final assembly all taking place at Verity Audio's own facility in Quebec City by a small permanent team, and the vendor's own site describes hand-finishing and listening-room testing at that same facility for its full current lineup, with no other production site found.

The vendor's contact page lists a single head office and factory address in Quebec City, and the 2006 factory profile describes a small permanent staff of about seven working at that one site, with no other office or facility mentioned anywhere in the vendor's own materials or in press coverage found.

A factory-visit article describes speaker drivers sourced from Denmark, wiring and custom-made connectors from the United States, and flagship models wired with Nordost Valhalla cable, another US product, with cabinet wood, veneer, and Italian lacquer finishing rounding out the mix; this account dates to 2006 and current sourcing was not independently reconfirmed, so the split is an estimate.
