Quebec kitchen and bathroom cabinet maker Ébénisterie St-Urbain (EBSU) is facing the threat of bankruptcy, Le Journal de Montréal reports, thanks to its 2021 acquisition of Woodlore. At the time of the deal, Ontario-based Woodlore concealed from EBSU that it was being sued for breach of contract by a customer accounting for 40 percent of its sales. It lost that customer three months after the acquisition. Compounding EBSU’s woes, RONA, BMR, and Patrick Morin have all reduced their orders from the manufacturer. A RONA rep however told Le Journal that fluctuations in orders are normal and not attributable to EBSU’s situation.
