Marantz and Son Ltd. has been a family business since 1930. In its early days, the company wholesaled goods to many of the northern and rural stores in Manitoba and Northwestern Ontario. Eventually many of those smaller stores were replaced by larger chain stores and better transportation made it easier for rural residents to travel into larger urban centres.

While Marantz and Son still supplies many of the existing rural and northern stores and co-operatives, a large part of their business has become the sale of promotional imprinted items such as t-shirts, golf shirts, caps, calendars, mugs and just about anything on which you can put a logo. They now supply promotional items across Canada and the Territories.
