Blueline

Federal corporation profile (corpId 2327228) lists Dominion Blueline Inc. as active, non-distributing, with director/majority owner Harolde M. Savoy resident in Dallas, Texas holding over 75% significant control, and co-director George M. Savoy resident in Quebec. This is not the ACCO Brands ownership initially suspected: ACCO Brands' own 10-K filings (SEC EDGAR, FY2011 and FY2023) list 'Dominion BlueLine' among its competitors, not its subsidiaries, so no ACCO parent relationship exists.

• Dominion Blueline Inc. - Corporation profile · registry record “Harolde Michael Savoy holds more than 75% of shares and is listed as the individual with significant control.”
• ACCO Brands Corp 10-K (FY2011) · filing “Competitors ... include ... House of Doolittle, Dominion BlueLine, Carolina Pad, Ampad, Blue Sky, Spiral Binding”
• ACCO Brands Corp 10-K (FY2023) · filing “Examples of branded competitors include Bi-Silque, Blue Sky, Corsair, Dominion Blueline, Fellowes, Hamelin”

Blueline's own Made in Canada collection (215 products) states planners, notebooks, business forms and accounting books are manufactured locally, but names no specific plant or city. The Schneider-branded pens sold on the same site are made by Schneider Schreibgerate in Germany, and the 1998 Rediform acquisition was a Texas-based business forms printer whose current production footprint could not be confirmed.

Blueline's about page reports over 300 employees and a registered head office in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Quebec, so most staff are inferred to be in Quebec; the geographic split of employees was not published, and the majority shareholder and one director are US-resident.

Blueline's core paper products are marketed as made locally, implying largely North American paper stock, but no supplier or material sourcing detail is published. The catalogue also carries Schneider pens made in Germany and a 2003 exclusive license with Avery Dennison (a US company) for National Brand office products, both of which pull inputs outside Canada.
