C.C.M. was established upon the amalgamation of the operations of four major Canadian bicycle manufacturers: H.A. Lozier, Massey-Harris, Goold, and Welland Vale Manufacturing. The company then accounted for 85% of Canadian cycle production.
Around 1899, many smaller bicycle makers went out of business, and C.C.M. soon became Canada's industry leader.
By 1917, C.C.M.'s bicycle manufacturing operations had moved into a larger factory on Lawrence Avenue West east of what is now called Weston Road in Weston, Ontario where manufacturing continued until 1980.
