Factors

Ownership

CA 100%

The vendor's own About page describes Zavida as founded in 1982 by Charles Litterst and calls itself 'a proudly Canadian company' with 'a family story for more than 40 years'; no search turned up an acquisition, private equity buyout, or foreign parent. Corporations Canada's federal registry only offers an interactive search form with no fetchable results, and the Ontario Business Registry's public search page returned a not-found error, so ownership could not be verified against a registry filing; this rests on the vendor's own statement.

Manufacturing

CA 100%

Zavida's only disclosed facility is its FSSC 22000 certified plant at 70 Connie Crescent, Concord, Ontario (Vaughan), which the Ontario Made directory independently lists as the manufacturer for a Zavida product line. A coffee directory records the company as historically running plants in Toronto and Montreal, but the vendor's current site names only the Concord address, so that older detail is not used.

Zavida is a single-site business: its About, Contact, and Careers pages name only the Concord, Ontario address, with no other office or facility mentioned anywhere on the site.

Green coffee cannot be grown in Canada, so every bean Zavida roasts is imported. Most of its line is flavoured blends without a stated origin, but its 100% Colombian whole bean and K-Cup products name Colombia as the source, the only country of origin the site discloses, so the mix goes entirely to OTHER (Latin America) with nothing found pointing to the US or EU.
