Saputo Inc.

In 1950, master cheese-maker Giuseppe Saputo and Frank, his eldest son, left their small village of Montelepre, close to Palermo, Sicily, and emigrated to Canada, convinced that this was the ideal country to provide a better future for their family in the wake of the Second World War. Two years later, Lino Saputo, his brother Luigi and sisters Rosalia, Elina, Maria and Antonina, joined their father and brother in Canada along with their mother, Maria. As was the case with many immigrants, the Saputo family’s first few years in Canada were difficult. Everyone had to do their part to put food on the table. After a few years spent in Montreal, Lino Saputo convinced his father, Giuseppe, to start his own business. In September 1954, using $500 to buy some basic equipment and a bicycle for deliveries, the Saputos founded their very own company bearing their name. Through the effort, determination, sacrifices and courage of each member of the family, their company got the initial push it needed to establish itself in Montreal’s Italian community. Today, Saputo still prides itself on the dedicated craftsmanship of its expert cheese-makers. They continue the Saputo family tradition of creating cheeses of unparalleled quality and taste. ×

Empey Tire

Hi, my name is Kevin Empey and I am the owner/founder of Empey Tire Services. I started my career in the tire business over 30 years ago. My start was as a tire technician for Elliot Motors; here I learned all I need know about the mechanics of the business. I later moved on to other reputable tire companies working as a Sales Associate until I became Fire Stones Regional Sales manager for Eastern Ontario In 1985 I decided that with all my knowledge and networking, I could be doing this on my own. That was how Empey Tire came to be. I started Empey Tire with myself, my truck and my "warehouse" (my garage and backyard). Almost 20 years later, through a lot hard work and superior customer service, Empey Tire has 2 warehouses with hundreds of tires on site, and thousands of tires available. The best part is that now I employ some great people to help out with the work! My business has come a long way since 1985. I believe it has grown because of you, my customer. We treat every customer, how we would want to be treated. I believe people walk into Empey Tire a customer, and walk out as a friend. Regards, Kevin Empey ×

Redball Radio

Red Ball Radio Ltd. had a humble but happy start at 133 Front St in Belleville. The original 400 sq ft shop was strictly car audio sales and installation, owned by me, Eric Lindenberg and Terry Moffatt. We slowly grew and were looking to expand. William Lindenberg (my father), was operating Decibel Audio from 6 North Front St, and was ready to retire. These factors , coupled with the sale of the property at 133 Front St was sufficient impetus to make the move to 6 North Front St. We have slowly taken over the entire house and now boast 2 floors of Audio/Video including a dedicated theatre room. We offer on-site installation of car audio and have our home and commercial installation crew on the road 5 days week. ×
