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. ×

Moira Glass & Mirror

In 1970, Barb and Derek Lawday began their labour of love and created Moira Glass-Mirror. Derek brought his certification as a glazer from Wales to Canada and cut his first piece of glass in the family home in Corbyville. By 1973 it became clear that Moira Glass was going to need a home of it’s own. The purchase of a horse stable built in the early 1800’s on Pinnacle Street was the perfect location. Several additions later, Moira Glass-Mirror continues to thrive in the very same building. Today, daughter Debbie Lawday still owns and operates Moira Glass-Mirror. With unparalleled commitment to her customers and community, Debbie’s devotion to her family business has provided Belleville and the surrounding area with many familiar faces. Several of today’s employees have been with Moira Glass for over thirty years! As a result, our knowledge of residential and commercial products and repairs are second to none. ×

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 ×
