Our Dime - Structube True North Audit

Structube maintains a strong domestic presence through its Canadian ownership and Quebec-based headquarters. Despite this, the manufacturing-specific True North score is moderated by the reliance on international production and global sourcing. The business model prioritizes domestic strategic control while utilizing foreign transformation for its product lines.
