there's this: http://finance.yahoo.com/q/pr?s=BLDP
but i'm not sure what you mean by "expanded into the US"?
do you mean a canadian manufacturing company that has built a plant in the US? do you mean a canadian company that sells a product to a US Company? shoot-dang, Celine Dion could be a canadian company that has expanded into the US.
Canadian Natural Gas sells natural gas to US distributors.
Canada Dry? any Canadian beer now brewed and bottled in the US? Tim Horton's Coffee ? (wait, I think wendys bought THs and has recently spun it off - check out the history of Tim Hortons fine coffee shops)
sorry- just trying to think of a canadian producer or distributor that has offices here in the US. Hey?!?!? how about SIEMENS?
there's probably some guy downtown that sells canadian marijuana, but that wouldn't answer the question either.
HOW ABOUT T.D. Waterhouse (from TD Canada Trust) ?

Research In Motion (RIM), a Canadian company who manufactures mobile business phones known as BlackBerrys acquired a US company last year, Ascendent. By acquiring this company, RIM continues to expand its business in the US and is able to integrate Ascendent's technology into RIM's products.
