Made in Waterloo Region

I really like the idea of this thread. It would be nice to have an ongoing list at some point. Here's a few KW-manufactured items off the top of my head:

Barbarian Sports Wear, Inc. - rugby/sports jerseys
Kraus Carpets - carpets
Onward Manufacturing Co. - Broil King barbecues
McCordick Glove and Safety - safety equipment
Toyota (Corolla, Lexus RX350, RX450h)
Christie - projectors

I think Kraus flooring ( http://www.krausflooring.com/  may be one of the last carpet manufacturers in Canada.

Barbarian Sports Wear ( http://www.barbarian.com/index.cfm?app=content&a=home ) is an interesting one - They not only make the clothing in Kitchener, but use only North American thread, woven into fabric in North America.  After going bankrupt in 2013, Barbarian was purchased by the founder of Salus Marine Wear of Waterlool (which merits a post of its own).

In addition to McCordick Glove and Safety of Cambridge ( http://www.mccordick.com/home.htm ), the Region is also home to Ontario Glove and Safety of Kitchener ( http://www.ontarioglove.com/Store/en/home.aspx ), which has been in business for more than a century and which recently bought out Huck Glove of Kitchener.
