Factors

Ownership

CA 100%

Founder George Reinitz sold Jaymar to a series of owners (Rivers & Associates in 2000, Shermag in 2003, Groupe Bermex in 2009) before Daniel Walker became sole owner and president in September 2014, per the vendor's own history page. Corporations Canada's federal registry for Jaymar Furniture Corp. (416957-3) lists Daniel Walker, a Rosemere, Quebec resident, as the sole individual with significant control, owning 25 percent or more of the shares, which corroborates the site's claim of sole Canadian ownership.

Inputs

Jaymar's own site names specific imported inputs: leather from Italian tanneries, an adjustable headrest mechanism imported from Germany, and an electric reclining mechanism from Leggett & Platt, a US manufacturer; frame wood (described as Baltic birch and solid wood), foam, springs and fabric are named without a stated country of origin. The mix is an estimate weighted toward North American bulk materials with a meaningful share for the documented European leather and German component, since Jaymar publishes no cost or volume breakdown by material.
