Onward Cluthe Hardware Products Inc.

Description

By the mid 1990's, Onward Multicorp had outgrown its facilities and needed to increase both floor space and production capacity. It was at that time that the opportunity came up to acquire the Cluthé Manufacturing Company. Founded by George Cluthé in 1939, they had steadily grown their product line to include a full line of screwdrivers under the Unidriver name, a wide range of moulded products that included tool-boxes, housewares, funnels, oilers, custom moulded products for local businesses, as well as a complete line of furniture glides with a market presence across North America.

By the 1960's, the company had grown to the point where it was split into three divisions operating under the Onward Multicorp umbrella. The Barbecue Division manufactured and sold brand name barbecues and became Canadian distributors for the Weber line from the U.S. The Appliance division under the name T.A. Appliances continues to be the largest local retailer of household appliances. The third division Onward Hardware distributed a full line of hardware products such as hinges and locks, with a line of cabinet fittings that was known across North America.
