About Jam Industries Ltd.
Founded in 1972, Jam Industries Ltd. began operating in Montreal under the trade name of
Erikson Music. In the 1980s Jam Industries widened its scope with the formation of Korg
Canada and Erikson Pro Audio allowing greater focus on important Marketing areas. In April
1986 Jam industries purchased Coast Wholesale Music Ltd. and proceeded to transform this
Western Canadian company from a regional distributor into a full-fledged national marketing
and sales force. Into the 1990s the company further expanded with Pro Audio entering the
lighting market, distributing Martin Professional Lighting products into Canada; and into the
consumer electronics field with the Erikson Consumer division.
Today, Jam Industries is made up of 8 divisions, each division led by a Vice-President, reporting
directly to the Chairman and President. Each division acts as an individual profit centre
and combined they distribute over one hundred leading brands in Canada. The most recent
addition of American Music & Sound has enabled Jam industries to emulate their business
strategies in the United States.
