Factors

Ownership

100.0 inferred

CA 100%

No ownership or parent-company statement is published on nobaanimal.com. Corporations Canada's federal registry returned zero results for both 'Noba Animal' and 'Canada Litter' (the name behind the brand's LinkedIn page), which usually means a Quebec provincial incorporation; the Registraire des entreprises du Quebec is bot-walled and could not be checked directly. No press, SEC filing, or CANADA List entry names an owner. Treated as an independent Canadian company by default given the single Quebec HQ and two Quebec facilities with no sign of outside control.

No page names where wood, sisal rope, fabric, foam, or the bentonite clay for its litter come from; the site only says products use 'premium materials.' Cat-tree framing and hardware are plausibly Canadian-sourced given Canada's timber industry, sisal rope is a tropical fibre not grown in Canada or the US, and most North American bentonite for cat litter is mined in the western United States. This split is an estimate, not a documented figure, and is the one thing this assessment could not verify.
