Company History


Schotsman Enterprises Ltd. has, as a company, developed and diversified over these many years. The company was founded out of a love for photography. The owners of the company, Simon & Christina Schotsman, were avid photographers. Their library of 35 mm slides grew into the thousands. While being stored in plastic pages, the slides were ruined by the chemicals in the plastic as well as the entrapment of moisture in each individual plastic pocket and so, a solution had to be found to safely file the slides. Our search to find an affordable, safe slide filing system was unsuccessful. Considering our need and the needs of others facing the same problem, we invented and patented the Slide Management System known as the Stor-editor. Besides many other features, its primary design functions were to avoid chemical contamination and to eliminate moisture entrapment. For years, Simon worked in the electrical business. His success and solid growth as a contractor provided him with the "seed money" to bring his idea to development. As a result, Schotsman Enterprises Ltd. was founded and incorporated on January 6, 1978. With the amount of growth in the audio visual market, Schotsman entered the market at the right time.

While the new product line in Canada was handled by Schotsman Enterprises Ltd, contact was established with Luxor Corporation in Waukegan, IL. Luxor is an audio visual specialty product manufacturer. At the time of this first contact, it was learned that Luxor had searched for five years to develop a Slide Management System of their own, but had been unsuccessful. Our contact changed all that and Luxor became our exclusive distributor for all of the U.S.A. In turn, we took on the Luxor line and became a Luxor distributor for all of Canada. This 25 year old relationship is still as strong as the day it was instituted. In fact, as a result of this relationship, we have now embarked on a whole new product line by giving Luxor's Endura line of plastic carts a whole new dimension never envisioned before.

As we all know, the growing technology field has given us MP3's, DVD's, digital and electronic storage....not great prospects for the slide management business. Continuing exclusively in that line of business was not an option.

Enter THE CART . Through the ingenuity and designs of the company's president, we are pleased to introduce a product that, up until now, has gone unaddressed in the contracting industry. Building on our 25 year relationship with Luxor, we have developed a line of products/carts for the contracting industry. Work Smart, Use the Cart is not just a catchy phrase. The general savings in efficiency attest to that motto. The cart was designed by a tradesman for the trade. The CART line is functional, versatile, and cost effective. Your return comes in months, not years.

Our company believes strongly in providing our customers unparalleled service. Our relationships with our customers and dealers are very important to us. That is why, even in this new venture, we have again looked to our partner, Luxor Corp. in Waukegan IL. We have known the strength and quality of their products for many years. It made sense, that when we were looking to someone to work with on this venture, it was them. Once you add the available accessories to the cart, you definitely have a winning combination.

We are creating an international distribution network that will assist you in finding the product that is right for you. We have also made our products available on our web site for you to order directly on line. Our products are backed by a 1 year total replacement warranty.*

We are sure that you will find the product that is right for you. We trust that you will be able to take advantage of the many features and benefits that our products have to offer you.
