Factors

Bouclair's own terms page names Alston Investments, based at its Pointe-Claire head office, as the site's owner and operator. Wikipedia reports Peter Goldberg bought Bouclair in a 2003 management buy-out and, through Alston Investments, took it through a 2019-2020 CCAA restructuring, remaining the controlling figure. Corporations Canada has no federal record for Alston Investments, consistent with a Quebec provincial incorporation; the Registraire des entreprises du Quebec could not be checked directly (bot-walled to fetches).

Manufacturing

Bouclair's ethical policy commits to supply-chain due diligence under Bill S-211 but does not name manufacturing countries. The Canada List records manufacturing as 'various' for the store overall and 'Asia' specifically for its lighting and furniture lines. No vendor statement or registry gives an exact split, so the mix is an estimate weighted toward overseas manufacturing with a small Canadian share for local cut-and-sew or finishing work.

Bouclair's careers page describes a Montreal-based design headquarters and more than 1,000 employees nationwide across stores, warehouses and design offices, with no offices named outside Canada. Wikipedia corroborates a workforce of about 1,029 across 55 Canadian stores.

No page names fabric, wood, or component suppliers. Since finished manufacturing is largely overseas per the Canada List, materials are assumed to follow the same pattern, with a small Canadian share for locally cut or assembled window coverings and soft goods; this is an estimate, not a published figure.
