Ward-Beck Celebrates 50 th Anniversary
Toronto’s Ward-Beck Systems is celebrating its 50 th anniversary as a Canadian manu-
facturer of audio equipment for broadcasters and other audio professionals in 2017.
In April 1967, Ward-Beck Systems Ltd. was incorporated and through ownership
changes and succession planning, Ward-Beck Systems Inc. was founded in 2015.
“The name changed, but continuity through personnel and our commitment to the
ideals established in 1967 remains unwavering. Quality craftsmanship, attention to
detail, after-sales support, and excellent customer relations form the foundation of
our company,” says Kevin Lyver, president of Ward-Beck Systems.
Through five decades of continuous operation, the company has witnessed
many technological and social changes in its industry, including the transition from
vacuum tubes to solid state devices, the digitization of analog signals, convergence
between various technologies, and lately, the shift to networked audio and video
signals. “Through it all we persevered, evolved, and kept innovating to maintain our
relevance to our clients and the industry,” says Lyver.
