Parent company: Colgate-Palmolive Company
Disclosure: We may earn a commission if you click and buy.
Speed Stick is a legacy brand owned by the American multinational Colgate-Palmolive, resulting in a low True North score. Economic retention is minimal as both ownership and strategic control are based in the United States, and primary manufacturing occurs internationally. Domestic economic impact is largely restricted to downstream retail and logistics activities.
Measures: Canadian symbolism intensity vs economic reality (True North)
