Company Overview

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.
