How is this scored?

Baltic Club is a Montreal, Quebec stationery and home fragrance brand founded in 2014 by Melanie Ouellette and Brice Salmon, with production centred in its Mile-End workshop and studio. The vendor reports that 90% of its products are made locally and sources stationery paper mainly from a Quebec recycled-paper mill, supplemented by a Michigan supplier. No federal incorporation, outside ownership, or confirmed third-party retail stockists were found.

Factors

Ownership

100.0 reported

CA 100%

The vendor's own story and terms pages name founders Melanie Ouellette and Brice Salmon and give a Montreal, Quebec registered address, with no mention of outside investors or a parent company. Corporations Canada's federal registry returns zero results for Baltic Club, consistent with a Quebec provincial incorporation rather than a gap in this check; the Registraire des entreprises du Quebec, which would confirm the corporate record directly, is bot-walled and could not be fetched.

Manufacturing

87.0 reported

CA 90% · US 10%

The vendor states that 90% of its products are currently made locally and describes hand-pouring candles and assembling stationery at its Mile-End, Montreal workshop and studio. The site does not say where the remaining share is produced; it is allocated here to the US as an estimate, since the only non-Canadian production relationship named anywhere on the site is its Michigan paper supplier.

The vendor names two paper suppliers for its stationery line: Rolland of Saint-Jerome, Quebec, which makes paper from 100% recycled fibres, and French Paper of Michigan, which runs on hydroelectric power. No revenue split between them is published, so the mix is an estimate weighted toward the Quebec supplier given the site's emphasis on local, recycled sourcing.

  • Planet Positive Initiatives | Baltic Club · the vendor's own site “Our paper is ordered from reputable, eco-conscious suppliers, including Rolland, a company based in St. Jerome, renowned for crafting paper with 100% recycled fibres. We also value our partnership with the Michigan-based French Paper, an entity that harnesses its own fully renewable hydroelectric generators for power.”
