Quebec’s South Shore Furniture said it will end all operations after a 77% drop in sales between 2022 and 2025. The family-owned company says its facilities in Sainte-Croix and Coaticook will gradually cease operations in the coming weeks. Its 126 employees were informed of the decision Monday. …Charles Laflamme said the company made every effort to maintain operations and jobs but could no longer continue in a market “where the rules of the World Trade Organization are not respected.” The company points to years of heavy dumping of furniture from China and Vietnam into Canadian and US markets, which it says drove down prices. He added that recent US tariffs on certain Asian countries redirected more of those products into Canada, while tariffs affecting Canada slowed exports south of the border, effectively erasing demand on both sides. …The company was one of the last major Canadian furniture manufacturers assembling products domestically.
