Established in 1955, Sony Canada evolved from General Distributors, which had been founded as Gendis in Calgary. In collaboration with the founders (Akio Morita and Masaru Ibuka) of Sony Corporation, Albert D.

Limited to be the first company to retail Sony products outside Japan. Originally headquartered in Winnipeg, Sony of Canada brought Walkman portable music players, Trinitron Televisions and Handycam Camcorders to the Canadian market. The Cohen family stake in Sony Canada was eventually sold to Sony corporation in 1995 for $207 million.[2] Sony Canada opened its first retail store in 1999.
