Canadian Furniture Maker Relocates Production to North Carolina

Delta, BC, March 21, 2025-"Canadian ready-to-assemble furniture supplier Prepac has reportedly shut down its manufacturing operations in Delta, British Columbia, shifting all production to its facility in North Carolina instead,” reports Furniture Today.

“According to Unifor, the union that represents Prepac’s workers, tariffs are to blame. More than 170 workers will be laid off.

“Prepac has not confirmed that the closure and production shift were done as a response to tariffs or the trade war, nor as it returned a request for comment to Furniture Today. Company CEO Nick Bozikis told publications The Daily Hive and Business Intelligence for B.C. that the decision ‘was the product of many months of consideration and analysis, and began long before any tariff risks to Prepac’s business arose.’”
