Paul J Pelletier, the former Western Manager for Facit in Ontario, made numerous visits to their Vancouver branch located at 1695 West 4th Ave. In 1977, an opportunity was presented to acquire one of 3 branch locations of Facit:
Northern Ontario, Winnipeg, Manitoba or Vancouver, British Columbia
The choice was easy! In 1977, Vancouver bound, Mr. Pelletier relocated his family (along with his beloved sailboat!) from Ontario to British Columbia to start a new exciting chapter with his family with the commencement of:
Pell Business Equipment Ltd.
Pell Business Equipment was the exclusive dealer for Philips Cassette equipment servicing the Lower mainland and Fraser Valley, along with calculators and other small office equipment. In the early 1980’s, Mr. Pelletier added the Hasler Mailing Equipment (now Neopost Mailing Systems) to the line up, providing desirable and much needed competition to the lower mainland Mailing Market. With the addition of Olympus Dictation products, along with the Philips line, Pell had successfully advanced in the evolving dictation market from Cassette to Digital systems of today!
To continue offering, quality product, service and support, (Paul Pelletier’s mandate) P.C Dictation Systems Ltd was founded. It is our goal to maintain the high level of service and commitment for your dictation requirements now and into the future.
We look forward to doing business with you!
Christine (Pelletier) Hembrow
