Housewares distribution
Public signal
The official markets page names DK Household Brands Canada Ltd in Richmond Hill, with Gene Basilio as Managing Director, distributing all six brands across Canada since Swissmar started in 1983. The US company covers more than 1,000 points of sale from Apex. That is a first-party Canada-hub conversation, not a vendor Business Central case study.
