Philco Products, Ltd. Toronto (1930) Factory, 900 Don Mills Road, Don Mills, Ontario (1954) 1930: Philco, already established in the US, begins exporting radios to Canada.

Late 1930: Philco establishes a Canadian subsidiary, Philco Products, Ltd., building a factory in Toronto, Ontario to serve the Canadian market.

Early years: Most Philco Products Ltd.'s radios were identical to their USA counterparts, carrying similar model numbers with a "3" prefix denoting Canadian manufacture.

By June 1938: Canadian-made Philco radios begin to look distinct from their American counterparts, both in design and model numbering.

Philco (Canada) adopts its own model numbering scheme: This creates confusion for collectors today, as later Canadian models used the same numbers as older US Philco sets.

Philco (Canada) contributions:

• Developed a strong presence in the Canadian market.
• Produced innovative and diverse radio models, tailored to local preferences.
• Expanded its product range over time, potentially including record players and television sets.
