Danby is the brand name of a line of appliances marketed by Danby Appliances Inc. and Danby Appliances Ltd., led by President and CEO Jim Estill.[1] Danby specializes in designing, manufacturing, and distributing small appliances through national and independent retailers in Canada, the US, UK, and Mexico.[2] It is a privately held Canadian and US company headquartered in Guelph, Ontario, and Findlay, Ohio. While the company is well-established in Canada, more than half of its sales are outside the country.[3] The company has additional locations in Tolleson, Arizona; Saraland, Alabama; and Foxboro, Massachusetts, as well as a location in Guangzhou, China. It is affiliated with manufacturers in China, Mexico, Turkey, Thailand, India and the United States.

The family-owned company first began business in Montreal, Quebec, in 1947.[4] Their first products were hot plates and slow cookers.[5] Danby also marketed an early form of a portable air conditioner.[6][7] as well as some private labelled brands for national retail stores. Annual sales are estimated at 400 million dollars[8] through the sale of compact and specialty appliances such as microwaves, compact refrigerators, wine coolers, ranges, washing machines, air conditioners and dehumidifiers.[8][9]
