No, Kraus is not a Canadian company, Kraus USA is an American company headquartered in Port Washington, New York, USA, founded in 2007 by Israeli-American entrepreneur Michael Karetnick. Although Kraus products are sold in Canada at Home Depot Canada, Lowe's Canada, Amazon.ca, and Wayfair.ca, and meet Canadian standards for cUPC and NSF certification, the company itself is American, not Canadian. Kraus USA designs its kitchen sinks, faucets, and bathroom vanities in Port Washington, New York, and manufactures them overseas, primarily in China, under its quality control. It is privately owned by its founder and is not owned by a Canadian conglomerate. There is a separate company called Kraus that is Canadian, Kraus Flooring, which is a Canadian flooring company based in Waterloo, Ontario, founded in 1959, that makes carpet and hard flooring and is one of the largest flooring manufacturers in Canada, but that is a different company from Kraus USA plumbing. So if you mean Kraus USA sinks and faucets, it is American, not Canadian, though available in Canada. If you mean Kraus Flooring, that is Canadian. The plumbing brand most people ask about, Kraus USA, is definitely an American company founded in New York, not a Canadian company, though it serves the Canadian market extensively.
