Brunelli maintains a strong domestic profile in terms of capital and strategic control as a Quebec-based firm. The True North score is supported by domestic ownership and HQ functions, though manufacturing and raw material sourcing follow globalized patterns common in the textile industry. Economic retention is primarily driven by administrative and logistical jobs within Canada.
