1946
Ballin was founded in 1946 by Charles (Chic) Balinsky. In our 75th year, we still remember the days when Chic opened the Canadian factory and sold goods by horse and buggy. The original building has been expanded several times, but it is still home to Ballin’s main Canadian production facility.
1980
Joseph ran the business through its major expansions in the 1980s and 90s. The US market became more key to what was previously a Canadian focused firm. It was at this time that the business shifted to a higher end product with the introduction of new technologies and a focus on the highest quality.
2000
Joseph remains active, but most of the company is run by his son Ronald. Business continues to expand, including the introduction of sales to Europe, Japan, and Australia.
2021
We continue to grow our business, and to foster great partnerships with our friends and customers. We have also been lucky to be able to shift some of our Montreal based production to help with the needed PPE. We are proud to be a part of the effort, and to support our employees and communities.
