Meet the Team
Dave
Owner
Dave is the founder of Laser Impressions Inc., a venture that began in 1998 in his basement with just one small laser in Saskatoon Saskatchewan. Prior to this endeavor, he was employed as an Electronics Production Coordinator for Startco. Engineering. His foray into the world of lasers was accidental, sparked by research into lamacoid plate fabrication initiated by a colleague. Recognizing the growing demand, Dave expanded his operations, acquiring a CNC router to cater to customer needs. A year later, in 1999, Dave and his wife, Brenda, transitioned Laser Impressions Inc into a commercial space on 44th Avenue in Saskatoon where the business continued to grow. Five years later, they relocated to Alberta Avenue in Saskatoon, and as they continued to grow, doubled their square footage by acquiring the adjacent bay. Today, Laser Impressions Inc. employs four full-time staff, operates four lasers, two printers, a vinyl plotter, a CNC router, and various other tools to cater to their extensive clientele, a testament to Dave’s enduring commitment to excellence in production.
