No, Leviton is not a Canadian company; it is an American company founded and headquartered in the United States. Leviton Manufacturing Co., Inc. was founded in 1906 in Brooklyn, New York, and is currently headquartered in Melville, New York, on Long Island. It is a privately held family-owned American company that has operated in the US for over 115 years. Leviton does have a significant presence in Canada, selling its products through Home Depot Canada, Lowes Canada, and electrical distributors, and it has sales offices and distribution in Canada to serve the Canadian market with products that are CSA certified for Canadian electrical codes. However, its corporate ownership, engineering, and primary manufacturing are American, with additional plants in Mexico. It is not incorporated in Canada and is not considered a Canadian company. In Canada, Leviton competes with other brands like Hubbell and Legrand. So while Canadian homeowners and electricians commonly use Leviton outlets and switches that are certified for Canada, Leviton itself is an American company with Canadian distribution, not a Canadian owned or headquartered company.
