Richard Mashaal, Director and Vice-President of the Corporation, stated: “We all mourn the loss of a great man. My father founded the Corporation in 1968. The firm began with an initial investment of $10,000 to purchase the Canadian rights to Sensormatic Electronics Corporation’s anti-shoplifting products. He pioneered this industry in Canada, as well as the Canadian Pay TV industry through an investment in First Choice Communications, where he also served as Chief Executive Officer. He guided the Corporation through a series of transformations that ensured its continued success across evolving economies and business cycles. We all owe him a debt of gratitude for his exceptional business acumen and his caring, nurturing nature as a person.”
