Cansel

Cansel was founded in 1966, as Canadian Survey Equipment Ltd., by Stan Jackson and Albert Weiss. With no customers and few contracts in the Vancouver market, they rented a shop in Burnaby, BC, bought a lathe for $2,000 and first made their mark in the business by repairing equipment faster than anyone else. The young company managed to generate about $100 in total revenues in its first month of business. We’ve changed a lot since then. We are now the largest distributor of land-based positioning systems in North America with 23 locations across Canada and over 400 employees. Cansel helps organizations measure, analyze, design and build more efficiently and profitably. We are the only company of its kind, providing unique and tailored solutions for over 50 years. Some of the markets we serve include engineering, surveying, construction, mining, architecture, manufacturing, utilities, forestry, and government.
