The Story About ScanCanada

Hi, Konrad here. Thanks for taking the time to learn more about us.

Back in 2006 I was having some trouble finding a business that would scan my parents photos. So I decided to buy a decent scanner (and not the ones you get at Future Shop), and scanned them myself. A co-worker at the time heard about this, and asked me to scan his negatives. After I finished, he told another worker and the word was spreading. I quit, put up a simple website, and four years later my company has scanned over 100,000 slides, negatives, and photos.

And that's basically how we do our business today-- do a good job, and people will tell somebody else. It's a simple strategy, and it's been working because every year we have been growing. In fact, I had to make the decision to move to Toronto from Calgary since most of our customers were from the east. Now the crazy thing is, we're getting a flood of customers from the west. But the plan is to open two facilities-- one back in Calgary, and another in Vancouver. Our goal is to have these facilities open in September 2010.

Thanks again for visiting us, and if you have any questions or comments, please email me at info@scancanada.ca.
