No, Frigidaire is not a Canadian company, it is American brand with Swedish ownership, though it sells products widely in Canada. Frigidaire was founded in 1918 in Fort Wayne, Indiana, USA as Guardian Frigerator Company, renamed Frigidaire in 1919, and became one of first companies to make self-contained electric refrigerators for homes, pioneering fridge industry. The name Frigidaire became generic term for refrigerator in some regions. Frigidaire was owned by General Motors from 1919 to 1979, then sold to White Consolidated Industries, and since 1986 owned by Electrolux, Swedish appliance giant headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden, which also owns Electrolux and AEG brands. Frigidaire headquarters is now in Charlotte, North Carolina, USA, with manufacturing primarily in Mexico, US, and other countries, though some fridges sold in Canada are made in US plants. Frigidaire has no Canadian ownership, though it has Canadian distribution and service network through Electrolux Canada. Canadian appliance brands include Danby headquartered in Guelph, Ontario, which is Canadian-owned company making compact fridges. So Frigidaire is American brand founded in Indiana, now owned by Swedish Electrolux, not Canadian company, but widely available in Canada at retailers like Home Depot Canada, Lowes Canada, and Canadian Appliance Source, competing with Whirlpool and LG.
