Seabreeze Electric Corporation

Seabreeze Electric Corporation

Seabreeze Electric Corporation is an established brand name in
Canada with over fifty years of manufacturing experience. 100%
Canadian-owned, the Company was founded in 1945. From the outset,
when Seabreeze first began manufacturing phonograph motors in
Toronto, the Company, has consistently demonstrated its ability
to develop and market seasonal consumer products of superior
quality, innovative design and unrivalled performance.

Over the last half century, Seabreeze has gained manufacturing
expertise in the following products:

. fractional horsepower A/C motors, both two and four pole;
. portable electric fans and fan heaters;
. record players, hi-fi equipment, including reel-to-reel and
cassette tape recorders, automatic record changers and
manufacturing for OEM accounts such as RCA, GE and
Westinghouse;
. the complete Motorola consumer product line (from television to
automobile radios) under Canadian distribution and
manufacturing
license, until they sold the division to Panasonic.

With the demise of consumer electronic manufacturing in North
America, Seabreeze restructured its operations to concentrate on
home comfort products. Advances in flame retardant resins have
allowed the Company to develop precision components which take
advantage of this technology.
A significant investment in machinery, equipment and tooling is
required to produce these products.

In order to avoid obsolescence, Seabreeze has developed and
patented a family of seasonal products which are functional, of
excellent quality and possess unique consumer benefits. The
Company is one of the most vertically integrated manufacturers in
North America, producing the two and four pole motors which equip
both cooling fans, as well as the heating elements for its heater
fans. All coil winding, injection moulding, punch press and final
assembly operations are performed in-house.

PRODUCTION CAPABILITY:
Seabreeze currently employs forty full time employees in its
modern 40,000 square foot manufacturing facility. The Company has

processess have been approved (and are continuously monitored) by
Underwriters Laboratories, as well as by Canadian Standards
Association.
