RONA inc. has announced it will showcase more than 6,500 Canadian-made products endorsed by the Well Made Here program. “We’ve always had a strong selection of Canadian-made products,” CEO and president J.P. Towner said in a release. “In fact, less than 10 percent of our supply comes directly from the United States.”
Though RONA is now owned by New York-based private equity firm Sycamore Partners, Towner underscored that “our head office is located on Montreal’s South Shore, our leadership team is entirely Canadian, and we employ nearly 21,000 people across the country,” adding that independent affiliates make up almost half of RONA’s store network.
