Intersand

Intersand describes itself as a Canadian family business founded in 1992 by Stephane Chevigny out of the family business Provalcid in Varennes, Quebec; the legal notice names the operating entity as Le Groupe Intersand Canada Inc. of Boucherville, QC. Corporations Canada's federal search returned zero results for "Intersand", "Groupe Intersand", and "Le Groupe Intersand Canada", consistent with a Quebec provincial charter, which the Registraire des entreprises du Quebec (bot-walled) could not confirm directly. Wikidata's entry for Intersand (Canada) lists no parent organization or owned-by claim, and The CANADA List independently reports it as 100% Canadian-owned.

• About us - Intersand · the vendor's own site “1992 While working for the family business Provalcid in Varennes, Stephane Chevigny launched the litter division, which would later become Intersand.”
• Legal Notice - Intersand · the vendor's own site “LE GROUPE INTERSAND CANADA INC., 90 Bd Marie-Victorin, Boucherville, QC J4B 1V6, Canada”
• Intersand (Canada) · press “company in Boucherville, Canada”
• The CANADA List · directory “100% Canadian company. Fully Canadian-owned, manufactured, and sourced.”

The plants and offices page names four production sites with approximate headcounts: Boucherville, QC (60), Saint-Alexis, QC (30), and Etobicoke, ON (40), all Canada, plus Windsor, Colorado, USA (40). Using headcount as a proxy for production share (no revenue or volume split is published) gives Canada roughly 76% and the US roughly 24%. The company's own history timeline mentions "5 plants" as of 2023 but only four are named on the plants page, so a fifth site could not be identified or located.

Headquarters and most staff are in Quebec and Ontario, Canada, with one site (Windsor, Colorado) in the US. The same plant-level headcount split used for manufacturing is applied here; the about-us page separately lists a ~60-person "Headquarter" entry in Boucherville alongside a ~60-person Boucherville plant, so total headcount and the exact Canada/US split could not be pinned down more precisely than this estimate.

• About us - Intersand · the vendor's own site “We are a Canadian family business operating several production sites in North America.”

Intersand's litters are made from sodium bentonite clay, but no vendor page names the country or region the raw clay is sourced from. In the absence of that information, the manufacturing footprint (three Canadian plants, one in Colorado) is used as the best available proxy for where inputs are processed.
