While La-Z-Boy Ottawa, Gatineau and Kingston is a well-known and locally trusted Canadian-operated dealer, many customers aren’t sure where our furniture is manufactured. Given the global nature of furniture production, some wonder if we outsource manufacturing overseas like other companies.

The answer? La-Z-Boy remains committed to manufacturing much of its recliner chairs, sectionals, and sofas in North America, with primary courses coming from parts of Canada, the United States, and Mexico.

While some components come from global sources, most of our recliners, chairs, sofas, and sectionals are built at our plants in the U.S. and Mexico before being shipped to La-Z-Boy locations in Ottawa, Gatineau and Kingston every week.

In this article, we’ll be taking a deep dive into how this works, and why we our company does what it does in keeping our furniture in North America, keeping most of the revenue in Canada, and being a proud Canadian-operated branch of the company.

Where is La-Z-Boy Furniture Made?

La-Z-Boy is a global furniture manufacturer with production facilities across North America and beyond. While our locally operated La-Z-Boy locations are found in the Ottawa, Kingston and Gatineau regions of Canada, the company maintains its headquarters in Monroe, Michigan, where it was founded in 1928 by cousins Edwin J. Shoemaker and Edward M. Knabusch.

“It is important to note, however, that La-Z-Boy Ottawa, Gatineau and Kingston only employ people in Canada and not in the United States or Mexico,” says David Maxwell, owner of the La-Z-Boy dealers in Eastern Ontario and Western Quebec.

Unlike many furniture companies that outsourced production during the 2008 economic downturn, La-Z-Boy continued to manufacture most of its furniture in North America. This commitment ensures high-quality craftsmanship while supporting jobs in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico.
