Honesty, Integrity and Responsible Growth
Feather Industries was established in 1946 as a division of Canada Packers, a large food distributor. In 1984 Feather Industries was sold to a private ownership group and continues to be a privately owned and Canadian operated manufacturing company, specializing in the processing and sale of duck and goose down and feathers.
We supply a wide range of industries including but not limited to home textiles/bedding, fashion and functional outerwear, outdoor recreation, and upholstery.
Buying Policy
First and foremost, all down and feather bought, processed and sold is a by-product of the
waterfowl meat industry. No waterfowl are ever raised solely for the harvest of their down
as this is inefficient, wasteful, and makes no economic sense for any party involved.
Feather Industries only buys from farms that its employeea personally visit and inspect to
ensure all partners are practicing the ethical and humane treatment of their animals. The
policies regarding the ethical treatment of animals include but are not limited to, no
force feeding (and whenever possible, free range fed) and absolutely no live plucking.
The adherence to these strict standards and the vigilance to ensure that these ethical policies
are practiced by all partners continue to make Feather Industries one of the most respected
companies in the industry.
