GENTEC CELEBRATES 20 YEARS AS CANADA’S LEADING CONSUMER ACCESSORY SUPPLIER
TORONTO, ON., September 20, 2010 – Joel Seigel, President and CEO, and Margaret Adat, Executive Vice-President and CFO, are pleased to announce the 20th anniversary of Gentec International.
Proudly Canadian-owned and operated, Markham-based Gentec International opened its doors in 1990 in a modest 12,000-square-foot warehouse with twelve employees managing an inventory of 300 photo and video products. Today, Gentec operates out of a 100,000-square-foot, fully-computerized warehouse with 90 employees managing over 4000 products across seven divisions: digital imaging, electronics, wireless, home theatre, home audio, car audio, and sporting goods. Gentec is also proud to have been named one of Canada’s 50 Best Managed Companies for the past three years – a testament to the level of excellence that Gentec has achieved since its inception.
“We’re thrilled at the tremendous growth and success that Gentec has seen over the past twenty years,” stated Mr. Seigel. “We’d like to thank all of our retail and supplier partners for supporting us and helping us reach this milestone, and we look forward to building on the strong foundation we’ve created as we continue to grow together in the years to come.”
