The Essentia Blog

This morning on Canada AM there was a report on products made in China. They were referring to the fact that the governed quality standards are so low that you’re only protection is to buy made in Canada.

A guest speaker mentioned that that may not be a guarantee since according to Canadian laws, if a package (made in Canada) plus the cost of packaging in Canada represents more than the cost of the product inside (which may be from China) the seller of the product can label this made in Canada.

That is similar to what happens in the mattress industry. The big brands use components from China, assemble them here and call it made in Canada. I recently heard that Tempurpedic’s most expensive mattress has its cover manufactured in China.

The Essentia products and all components are manufactured in Canada – NOT JUST ASSEMBLED !!!
