Rocket Espresso is an Italian manufacturer with its primary capital, control, and manufacturing operations based entirely outside of Canada. Consequently, it receives a low True North score as the value generated by consumer spending primarily exits the Canadian economy. Canadian economic retention is limited to the margins captured by local third-party retailers.
