Overview

Bestar is doing its best to maintain stellar sales in a furniture-buying environment that's anything but. Founded in 1948 by Jean-Marie Tardif (father of the company's current chairman, Paulin Tardif), Bestar designs, manufactures, and distributes wholesale ready-to-assemble computer work stations and other wooden home office and home-entertainment system furniture. The company's products can be purchased through specialty retailers. Most of Bestar's sales are to the US. Following a sales dropoff in recent years, Bestar developed a new business plan in 2006 and restructured itself. The company first traded on the public stock exchange in 1986.
