Danby

major appliances (refrigeration, laundry)

Canadian ownedPROVISIONAL

Canadian owned since 1947 and headquartered in Guelph, Ontario. Most Danby appliances are built by manufacturing partners overseas, and we are still verifying which models are made in Canada.

Why this classification?4 sources

The tier above is a researcher’s read of the evidence below, not yet a computed classification. Every consequential claim we make resolves to one of these stored records, and each link goes to the page we actually read. When the deterministic classifier lands, it will read this same evidence.
