True North

Capital: Foreign

Capital: Foreign (profits)

Control: Foreign

Control: Foreign (decisions)

Luminarc functions as a foreign-owned manufacturer with no documented production footprint in Canada. The resulting True North score is low, as capital, control, and manufacturing operations remain concentrated in Europe and other international markets. Economic retention for Canada is primarily restricted to downstream retail and logistics activity.
