It was incorporated under the Canada Business Corporations Act on 9 July 1979 and holds corporation number 088747-1 with Corporations Canada. The incorporation date on file for this profile, 1 January 1979, appears to be a placeholder date rather than the true incorporation date; Corporations Canada’s federal register records the actual date of incorporation as 9 July 1979. No registration number was previously on file for this profile; corporation number 088747-1 has been added here from the federal register. The company’s registered office is at 2569 Rue de Miniac, Ville Saint-Laurent, Québec H4S 1E5, and its federal business number is 105505481RC0001.

Veneto Imports Limited imports and sells leather handbags and related leather goods under the Veneto brand. According to the company’s own account of its history, the business began as a family enterprise founded in Rome, Italy, and was the first to import Italian leather bags into Canada, later establishing the Montréal-area operation reflected in its federal registration; this founding narrative comes from the company itself and has not been independently corroborated by a government or news source reviewed for this profile. The company registered the trademark VENETO (registration TMA290931) on 11 May 1984, covering handbags, shoulder bags, tote bags, wallets, attaché cases, travel bags and related goods; that registration lapsed in May 2014. The company currently sells products including hobo and tote bags, satchels and duffel bags, crossbody bags, backpacks, and clutches and evening bags through an online store operating under the Veneto Handbags name, whose contact page lists “Veneto Import Ltd.” at the same Ville Saint-Laurent address recorded in the federal register, and which ships to a range of international markets.

Shareholders
Shareholders of Veneto Imports Limited
Veneto Imports Limited is a federally incorporated, non-distributing corporation with 50 or fewer shareholders under the Canada Business Corporations Act, a category of private company for which Corporations Canada does not publish a complete shareholder list or share register. Federally incorporated private corporations are, however, required to disclose individuals with significant control (ISC), and Corporations Canada’s federal register names one such individual for this company: Sheldon Schlimper, recorded as holding more than 75% of the company’s shares, held directly rather than through an intermediate entity. The register reports this as a percentage threshold rather than an exact figure, consistent with how ISC holdings are recorded federally, and the entry was last updated on 16 September 2026. No other shareholders are named in the sources reviewed for this profile, and the register does not confirm whether Sheldon Schlimper holds all of the remaining shares or whether additional, smaller shareholders also exist.
Ultimate beneficial ownership
Sheldon Schlimper is named in Corporations Canada’s Individual Significant Control register as holding, directly, more than 75% of the shares of Veneto Imports Limited, as of the register entry dated 16 September 2026. This is reported here as verified ISC information disclosed by an official federal register, not as a percentage calculated through a multi-step ownership chain, and no intermediate holding company or indirect ownership path is disclosed.
Data availability
Shareholder and beneficial-ownership information for this company is best described as Partial: Corporations Canada’s ISC register discloses the majority beneficial owner and a minimum shareholding threshold, but the company’s complete shareholder register and any minority shareholders are not publicly available. This should not be read as evidence that no other shareholders exist.
Officers
Directors and officers of Veneto Imports Limited
Corporations Canada’s federal register records one active director for Veneto Imports Limited: Sheldon Schlimper, whose correspondence address on file is in Côte Saint-Luc, Québec. This is a corporate correspondence address recorded in the federal register; it is not evidence of Sheldon Schlimper’s country of residence, and nationality has not been inferred from the name or address on file — it is not disclosed in this jurisdiction’s federal register. This constitutes verified legal officer data drawn directly from the Corporations Canada federal register, which is distinct from self-reported website content: the company’s own website does not name any individual officer, founder or principal in a way that can be matched with confidence to this register entry, so the director information reported here rests solely on the federal filing rather than on the website. No former or resigned directors are recorded in the sources reviewed, and no separate company-secretary or other statutory-officer position is disclosed.
Recent officer changes
No director appointment, resignation or role change was identified in the sources reviewed for this profile.
Data availability
Officer information for this company is Current only: the federal register discloses the presently active director but does not publish nationality or occupation, and the sources reviewed did not include a historical record of any prior directors.
Group Structure
Group structure of Veneto Imports Limited
No verified immediate parent, ultimate parent, subsidiary or sister-company relationship has been identified for Veneto Imports Limited in the sources reviewed for this profile. The company’s own account of its history describes an earlier expansion of the Veneto handbag brand into Hong Kong, China and Japan under family ownership, but no separate legal entity, registration number or jurisdiction was identified for any Asian operation, so no corporate relationship can be verified from this description alone. On the information available, Veneto Imports Limited appears to operate as a standalone Canadian corporation rather than as part of a documented corporate group, though the absence of a published group structure is not proof that no such relationship exists.
Data availability
Corporate-linkage information for this company is Not found: no official filing or other authoritative source reviewed for this profile identified a parent company, subsidiary or sister company for Veneto Imports Limited.
