Swift Canoe & Kayak

The Contact page names Bill Swift as President/Sales Manager and the About page describes 'the Swift family' and 'the Swift Team' running the business alongside its affiliate, Algonquin Outfitters, with no mention of outside investors. A federal Corporations Canada search for 'Swift Canoe' returned zero results, consistent with an Ontario provincial incorporation rather than a federal one; the Ontario Business Registry itself was not checked, so the legal entity's registration was not independently verified.

The Contact page states plainly that boats are built in South River, Ontario, and the Laminates 101 page describes the resin-infusion build process happening in a 'climate-controlled lamination room' there. madeinca.ca corroborates South River, Ontario as the manufacturing location but, per policy, a directory listing does not raise this above reported.

Corporate head office, the South River factory, and all four named retail locations (Muskoka, Georgian Bay, Algonquin, South River) are in Ontario per the Contact page, with no offices or staff disclosed outside Canada.

The Laminates and Laminates 101 pages name Kevlar/aramid, Innegra polypropylene fiber, basalt cloth, carbon fiber, S-glass, and epoxy-vinylester resin as hull materials but do not disclose supplier countries. Kevlar and Innegra are both US-origin fiber products (DuPont and Innegra Technologies), which anchors the US share; carbon fiber and basalt cloth are typically sourced from Asian or European producers, not disclosed here, which anchors the OTHER share; a small CA share is estimated for the foam core and resin blending that likely happens closer to the factory. This split is this card's estimate, not a published figure, because the vendor names materials but not their countries of origin.

• Laminates · the vendor's own site “layers of Kevlar fabric as well as a Basalt cloth derived from volcanic rock, and high modulus polypropylene Innegra fiber”
• Laminates 101 · the vendor's own site “Layers and select partials of Carbon-Innegra cloth sandwich a durable foam core and rib system”
