Canadian furniture maker Prepac is moving all of its production to the United States following the threat of tariffs on Canadian goods from President Donald Trump.

According to Unifor, Canada’s largest private sector union, Prepac is closing its manufacturing plant in Delta, British Columbia, to move all production to its manufacturing plant in North Carolina, which opened in 2021.

As a result, more than 170 Canadians will lose their jobs at the British Columbia plant. Unifor representatives suggested that those jobs will be moved to North Carolina.

“Our union has been warning about lost investment and production since Trump began his economic war on Canada and Canadian workers,” Unifor National President Lana Payne said in a statement. “In this case, Prepac and its equity owners are using the tariffs as an excuse to redirect all their production to the U.S. It’s pure greed.”

Prepac CEO Nick Bozikis said the move to North Carolina puts the furniture maker’s production much closer to its primary consumer base — Americans.

Wouldn't surprise me if it started off in NC and got sent to Canada under NAFTA. Thomasville NC used to be the furniture capitol of the world. Now that is Vietnam or some crap hole in Asia.

No, they built that plant in 2021, and kept the one in Canada. Until now.

Try reading the article in the OP before you embarrass yourself again.

Pk can't help himself

Canada is taxing itself into being Detroit.

Glad the businesses are moving. Not good for Canada.

Well take Alberta as a state and give you NY.

Once again MarvinMoron fails to read the links he posts. This move has nothing to do with tariffs and everything to do with this company being purchased by a private equity firm on the other side of the country.

170 jobs gone because no unions and higher profits for the investors. This is what happens to local jobs when ownership isn’t local.

These jobs were gone anyway.

Except our taxes include health insurance and pensions and yours don’t.

We get to keep more of the $65,000 we make than you do. A LOT more. $8000 each for health care. $500 a month child tax credits.

Our taxes aren’t providing income supplements for underpaid workers or tax cuts to billionaires.

Probably the tariffs weren't the only reason--Canada has its own problems with unpopular government these days--but Trump's intention is that America become a country where we build and make things again. So each new success increases that hope.

I think in his own crazy way he shook them up to get rid of Trudea. Problem is a worse one is running.

Conservatives there may take the country back which is good. Better to not have crazy leftist running the show to our north
