RICHARDS PACKAGING INC. –
RICHARDS PACKAGING INC. (French form: EMBALLAGES RICHARDS INC.) is a federal Canadian corporation governed by the Canada Business Corporations Act. Its federal corporation number is 431913-3 and its business number is 104520986RC0005. On 16 October 2026 the Corporations Canada register showed it as Active, with annual returns filed for 2024, 2025 and 2026. It operates a packaging distribution business under the Richards Packaging name, selling glass and plastic bottles, jars, closures, pails and bags to businesses across Canada.
The corporation in its current form dates from a Certificate of Amalgamation of 29 July 2005. That certificate joined an earlier corporation of the same name, federal number 4272773, with Pill + Distribution Inc. / Distribution Pilule + Inc., number 4182278. So 29 July 2005 is the date of the amalgamation. It is not the date the business was founded. The register also records a Certificate of Amendment dated 1 January 2019, which it describes only as “Other”. It classes Richards Packaging Inc. as a non-distributing corporation with 50 or fewer shareholders. Its registered office is at 6155 Belgrave Road, Unit 3, Mississauga, Ontario L5R 4E6.
The group’s filings say the Richards packaging business has existed since 1912 and grew into a distributor of glass and rigid plastic packaging. The 2025 Annual Information Form of the listed group the company belongs to (dated 14 March 2026) divides that packaging business into food and beverage and cosmetic verticals. The same document describes a separate healthcare segment, which has grown since the mid-2010s and now produces most of the group’s business. The richardspackaging.com storefront lists five Canadian branches: Calgary (Rocky View County), Montreal (Lachine), Toronto (Mississauga), Vancouver (Surrey) and Winnipeg. It groups its products for food and beverage, nutraceutical and supplement, health and beauty, industrial and chemical, and pet care and veterinary customers. It also offers sourcing, inventory management and manufacturing services.
No company-level revenue, headcount or financial statements for Richards Packaging Inc. are published. The register publishes no accounts for a non-distributing corporation, and the figures the group does publish are consolidated across all its businesses. Those consolidated figures cannot be attributed to this corporation.
Developments dated in the group’s own documents: the Annual Information Form records that in January 2026 the group sold its Tacoma, Washington manufacturing operation to a supplier, continuing its stated move away from in-house manufacturing. It also records that the Toronto manufacturing facility was sold in 2022.
Card note: the stored number 4319133 is federal number 431913-3 without its check-digit hyphen and identifies this live corporation. Its register is Corporations Canada, not the Ontario Business Registry. “Private limited company (Ltd.)” is not a Canadian legal form.

Shareholders
Shareholders of RICHARDS PACKAGING INC.
RICHARDS PACKAGING INC. is a wholly owned subsidiary. The intercorporate chart in the 2025 Annual Information Form of Richards Group Inc. (TSX: RIC), dated 14 March 2026 and drawn as at 31 December 2025, shows 100% of the common shares of Richards Packaging Inc. held by Richards Group Holdings Inc., an Ontario corporation. Richards Group Holdings Inc. is in turn 100% owned by Richards Group Inc.
Richards Group Holdings Inc. took its current form on 1 January 2026. On that date Richards Packaging Holdings Inc. and Richards Holdings 3 Inc. amalgamated, and the result then amalgamated with Richards Holdings 2 Inc. The group’s 2025 consolidated financial statements put it differently. They describe Richards Packaging Inc. as a wholly owned subsidiary of “Richards Canada”, meaning Richards Packaging Holdings Inc. and Richards Packaging Holdings 3 Inc. Both documents give a 100% holding. They differ only in which holding company is named before the 1 January 2026 amalgamations.
Until 19 December 2025 the group’s listed vehicle was Richards Packaging Income Fund (TSX: RPI.UN). On that date the fund was converted into Richards Group Inc. by a plan of arrangement, and each unitholder received one common share per unit. The fund was then terminated and stopped being a reporting issuer on 24 December 2025.
Ultimate beneficial ownership
On 16 October 2026 the Corporations Canada register stated that there are no individuals with significant control over Richards Packaging Inc. (last updated or confirmed 6 October 2026).
The ultimate parent, Richards Group Inc., is listed. Its circular of 1 May 2026 names two holders above 10% of its shares as at 30 March 2026, out of 11,098,939 shares outstanding: Janet Glynn with 2,213,761 shares (19.9%) and Mawer Investment Management Ltd. with 1,266,587 shares (11.4%). These are interests in the listed parent, not direct holdings in Richards Packaging Inc. No effective percentage in Richards Packaging Inc. is calculated, because the chart and the holdings relate to different dates.
Data availability
Partial, with the immediate parent and percentage taken from the parent’s filings. The federal register publishes an individuals-with-significant-control statement but no shareholder list. The provider’s shareholder field holds only a generic notice and no holders.

Directors and officers of RICHARDS PACKAGING INC.
Corporations Canada lists five directors of RICHARDS PACKAGING INC.: Donald Wright, Janet Glynn, Darlene Dasent, Susan Allen and John Glynn (register checked 16 October 2026). The corporation’s articles allow between one and ten directors. The federal register records directors only. It gives no appointment dates and no officer roles such as president or secretary, and it publishes no nationality. The register prints directors’ residential addresses, and this page does not reproduce them. Who holds the corporation’s own executive offices is therefore not on the public record.
The listed group the company belongs to does name its own officers. Its 2025 Annual Information Form (14 March 2026) and its management information circular (1 May 2026) name John Glynn as President and Chief Executive Officer of Richards Group Inc., a director since March 2025. They name Enzio Di Gennaro as Chief Financial Officer of the Richards Group, in office since May 2005. These are offices of the group, not offices recorded against Richards Packaging Inc.
The officer cards on this page come from a provider feed that has nine rows, all marked active, with no dates. Checked against the register:
- Three rows (Donald Wright, Darlene Dasent and Susan Allen) match the register’s directors.
- John Glynn’s row matches a registered director. Its title, “CEO, President & Trustee”, mixes a group office with a trusteeship of the former income fund, which was wound up in December 2025.
- Janet Glynn, a registered director, is missing from the feed.
- Gerry Glynn is listed as a director but does not appear on the register. The group’s 1 May 2026 circular describes him as the late former Chief Executive Officer.
- Rami Younes is listed as a director but does not appear on this corporation’s register. The circular records him as a director of the listed parent who retired from that board on 1 May 2026.
- Enzio Di Gennaro’s title, Chief Financial Officer, is a group office (see above).
- Two rows, one titled “Founder” and one titled as an officer of a US affiliate, McKernan Packaging, are not supported by any register entry or group filing we reviewed.
Data availability
Partial. The federal register publishes current directors’ names and addresses, but no appointment or resignation dates, no officer roles and no nationality. Nationality is not disclosed for any person named here. The parent’s securities filings cover group offices only. The Ontario Business Registry, named as the card’s source, was not used: it is captcha-protected, and as a federal corporation this company is registered with Corporations Canada.

Its immediate parent, according to the group’s 2025 Annual Information Form chart drawn as at 31 December 2025, is Richards Group Holdings Inc. (Ontario), which holds 100% of its common shares.

- Clarion Medical Technologies Inc. (Ontario), which owns Premier Medical Aesthetics Institute Inc., Luvo Medical Technologies Inc. and National Dental Inc.
The group’s 2025 audited financial statements describe it differently.

Recent structural changes
- 19 December 2025: Richards Packaging Income Fund converted into Richards Group Inc. by plan of arrangement. The fund became a wholly owned subsidiary of the new company and was then terminated.
- 1 January 2026: Richards Packaging Holdings Inc. and Richards Holdings 3 Inc. amalgamated to form Richards Group Holdings Inc., which then amalgamated with Richards Holdings 2 Inc.
- 1 May 2026: Healthmark Services Ltd. acquired the assets of PharmaSystems Inc.’s consumer packaged goods division for $13.5 million, according to the group’s press release of 30 April 2026.
Data availability
Partial. The relationships come from the listed parent’s Annual Information Form and audited financial statements. These two documents disagree on whether Clarion and Healthmark sit below this company, and the chart was drawn before the 1 January 2026 amalgamations took effect.
The provider’s corporate-structure graphic is out of date. Its root is Richards Packaging Income Fund, which was wound up in December 2025. It places Clarion directly under the fund and puts the US company Richards Packaging, Inc. under this company, labelled Oregon; the group’s filings describe that company as a Washington corporation held through a US holding company. It also includes Accutech Medical Technologies Inc., which neither filing lists.
Both Healthmark companies’ federal numbers were confirmed on the Corporations Canada register.
