No, Navien is not a Canadian company, it is a South Korean company with operations in Canada. Navien was founded in 1978 in South Korea as KyungDong Boiler, now Navien Inc., headquartered in Seoul, South Korea, and is part of KD Group, known for tankless water heaters, boilers, and HVAC. Navien is South Korean-owned, South Korean-designed, with engineering in South Korea, and manufacturing primarily in South Korea, with factories in South Korea, and also in USA for North American market, with factory in California. Navien Canada is the Canadian division of Navien, with office and distribution in Canada, selling Navien tankless water heaters and boilers in Canada through contractors and retailers, but it is not independently Canadian-owned, it is owned by Navien South Korea. Canadian water heater companies include Giant, made in Montreal, Quebec, and John Wood, made in Fergus, Ontario. Navien is often mistaken as Canadian because it sells widely in Canada and has CSA certification, but it is South Korean. So Navien is not Canadian company, it is South Korean company founded in 1978, headquartered in Seoul, South Korea, South Korean-owned, with Canadian subsidiary Navien Canada, South Korean-owned with Canadian operations, not Canadian-owned, Korean company with global presence, known for high-efficiency condensing technology.
