Dufferin Cue Ltd Mississauga - Manufacturer Info

Dufferin Cue, Ltd was Canada's largest manufacturer of billiard cues. Pool cues are still being made today with the Dufferin name, but they are not the solid high quality cues of the original Canadian-made Dufferin Cue Ltd versions.

Why were Canadian Dufferin Cues so Good?

As one AZB member put it:

Dufferin owned their own forest products company (e.g. lumber company) which gave them a nice edge in the market.

Al Selinger was a CPA and worked for a lumber company inherited by four brothers.

He basically ran the company 'cause the bros didn't have the smarts or the drive of their father. Then Al bought Dufferin and did business with the bros....then he ended up buying .their company.

And he bought exotic wood by the shipload... so many low line Dufferin finished products were actually cheaper than you could buy the raw wood for. Ebony that would cost me $35 at a specialist wood store would cost him maybe $3.

Al and Betty Selinger were two of the finest people I knew.

They ran the wood products division as a separate company (Selinger Wood, Ltd) to supply the highest quality wood for pool cues at the best price. They hired executives who were dedicated to ensuring quality and implementing cost controls in the wood division.

Dufferin Games Ltd. initially hired Garth Grant to help restructure their purchasing, inventory management/control and logistics systems. Garth met those goals, and had the company survived, Garth was slated to be promoted to Vice Preside heading up the Dufferin Games Wood Products Division. As Vice-President of Wood Products he would restructure the division to make it more profitable and better service the needs of the pool table and cue factories. Dufferin Games, regrettably, took a turn for the worse due to market conditions and was officially closed during the summer of 2003.

You just didn't see this type of quality and dedication to wood quality anywhere else, and this is why Dufferin pool cues (the original Canadian ones) are so highly regarded by those in the cue sport industry. Even today, in 2017, they are still in demand by players and custom cue makers.
