Thomas Lang Moffat was born in Crossford, Fife, Scotland in 1836 and emigrated to Canada with his family when he was 5 years old.  He started an iron and brass castings company in Dundas, Ontario with a Mr. McCallum. Eventually, he moved to Owen Sound where he got a job as a moulder at the firm of William Kennedy & Sons.  In 1882, he moved to Markdale, Ontario where he founded a general engineering and machine shop, T.L. Moffat and Sons.  They produced mill machinery, steam engines, pulleys, plows, mangles, and various ornamental castings in iron and brass.

In 1893, Moffat built a  factory on Dennison Avenue, west of Jane, using stones from the banks of the Humber River in Toronto, Ontario. The company's products became highly regarded in local markets and abroad, in fact the Moffat company is credited with inventing the first electric ranges for the domestic market, becoming world leaders in this area.

The Moffat brand continues to be committed to providing economical everyday household appliances for Canadian consumers.
