OAKVILLE STAMPING & BENDING

What OAKVILLE STAMPING & BENDING does

Oakville Stamping & Bending, operating under the +osb brand, is a Canadian manufacturer of plumbing components founded in 1970 and headquartered in Shanty Bay, Ontario. The company designs and produces a broad portfolio of tubular and brass plumbing parts, including P-traps, S-traps, J-bends, lavatory drains (Clicker®, mechanical pop-up, mushroom, open grid, plug & chain, push-pull, wheelchair-accessible), tubular components (continuous wastes, tailpieces, extension tubes, waste connectors), bath waste and overflow systems (360 Fill&Drain™, Cable-Drive®, FRZERO, Lift & Turn, Trip Lever, Twirl™, etc.), floor and shower drains, island tub drains, and miscellaneous plumbing accessories. The product line is segmented across sub-brands — +osb essentials (value), the core +osb line, +osb luxe (premium shower drains including the Serenity trim), FRZERO (fire-rated code-approved solutions), and Total 1™ (dual-configuration bath waste) — with distribution-only adjacencies in Oasis Coolers and Aquor Water Systems.

The company's competitive positioning is anchored by a portfolio of registered trademarks and patented designs that simplify installation (one-touch Clicker® pop-up, screwless SlideOn™ faceplate, 2-in-1 Total 1™ to eliminate leftover parts) and address code-driven commercial demand (FRZERO fire-rated, non-combustible plumbing). Products carry CCSA US UPC and QAI certifications and are engineered to meet UPC, IPC, and NPC code requirements.

The business operates a B2B trade distribution model, selling through plumbing wholesalers across Canada and the United States and at Home Depot Canada retail locations, supported by downloadable price guides and email-based purchase orders. The primary customer segment is professional plumbing contractors and trade buyers, with a secondary consumer/DIY tail at retail. The company is privately held, with no disclosed institutional ownership, funding rounds, M&A activity, or leadership changes across the 50+ year operating history.
