A small manufacturing firm j in the Lynmour industrial area is making big waves in
the electronics industry. At a time when many Canadian manufactureres of stereo

equipment are closing down because of pressure from imports from Japan, Web
Sound is going ahead with business as usual. |

Discriminating Japanese buyers are impressed by the fine cabinet work
and design features produced at Web Sound.

despite the pressure from imports. The big news is that Web. Sound is exporting
-speakers—to Japan, of all places! oo os

Bill Wilsdon a spokesman for Web, says that their. speaker-cabinets sell in
Japan—at a considerably higher price than they sell for in Canada—because of the
quality. ‘‘The Japanese are amongst the most. discriminating stereo -buyers in the
world, and they are famous for the quality of the components they themselves
manufacture. Our Japanese buyers are primarily interested in the fine cabinet work
and innovative designs that we produce. ae ~

The firm, incorporated six years ago, is an unusual organization. Owned by five
equal partners, who all work in the plant and display room at 1394 Main Street, in
Lynmour, they do almost all the work themselves. There are only two other
employees, both cabinetmakers. Wilsdon says that their company is based on a simple |
policy, which has not changed in the six years of the company’s history. ‘‘We have the 3 = :
idea that a stereo system is something that you add to rather than replace. Our | ? oe 3 :

a speakers are first quality. That’s easy to say, but. we mean it. Our customers come | . ; :
back again and again, and that’s what our business is built on.’’ oe oO | Bast ee —fo3 : |

What’s so unusual about that? Well, it’s not just that the firm is growing steadily

The firm has also sold equipment from Alaska to Australia. Dealing primarily with the user
of the equipment, the company bypasses middle-men. ‘‘This not only gives the customer a
better price,’’. says Wilsdon, ‘‘but it makes life a little more satisfying for us, as we have.
direct contact with the people we make stereo systems for.’’
