Umbra

Umbra's own site names co-founders Les Mandelbaum and Paul Rowan and shows no sign of outside investors, and both The Canada List and Made in CA record the company as Canadian owned. Corporations Canada's federal search returned no match for 'Umbra Ltd', so it appears to be incorporated provincially in Ontario, a registry not checked this session.

The Canada List classifies Umbra's manufacturing as based in China; Umbra's own wholesale, shipping, and FAQ pages are silent on factory locations. A small residual Canadian share is assumed for output historically associated with the company's Toronto operations, but no fetchable source confirmed a current split, so the exact division between Chinese and any Canadian production could not be verified this session.

Umbra's contact page places its retail flagship at 165 John Street and its Global Support Centre at 40 Emblem Court, Scarborough, both in the Toronto area, and its story page centers the founders and design team in Toronto. No other office or major staff location was found.

No materials or supply chain page was found on the vendor's site. With production concentrated in China per The Canada List, major inputs are assumed to be sourced regionally there; a small Canadian share tracks the residual Toronto manufacturing. Umbra sells primarily through its own storefront rather than a single third-party platform, so no marketplace dependence applies.
