Meet the Team
Andy Won
President & General Manager
Andy’s Dad originally founded the company back in 1979 as a retail print lab in the community, and Andy would often help out as he was growing up. He literally learned the business from the ground up! In 2009, Andy took the helm and officially launched GTA Imaging, which became a trade-only lab for professional photographers in Canada. Since then, the business had grown from the small retail location on Keele Street, to a family-oriented business that employs almost 20 people. GTA Imaging is a one-stop Canadian solution for printed products. Sourcing Canadian suppliers is important to Andy and he endeavours to create long-term relationships with those suppliers as well as the customers of GTA.
“We care about our client’s success and feel that our clients are an extension of our family.”
