Gordon Colpitts started Xtra as a Xerox Authorized Sales Agency in 1999 and Derek Foley joined him as an equal partner in the business approximately two years later. Xtra went on to become the largest Xerox Agency in Atlantic Canada.
In 2010, after many years of wanting to do better for their customers, Xtra became an independent Canon Authorised Dealer. The goal for Gordon and Derek was, and still is, to deliver the most dependable, best backed, office equipment solutions available to their customers. In just a few short years, Xtra has grown to become the largest Canon Dealer east of Montreal.
Xtra didn’t stop there, in order to offer the best line of imaging products to all Maritime businesses, they decided to fill out their product line by becoming authorized dealers for KIP, in 2011 Lexmark in 2013 and HP in 2017. In doing so, they were able to support small business owners with Lexmark’s reliable line of small and medium sized work-group printers, and also to support those companies who need more specialized wide format printing options with top-of-the-line printers from both Canon and KIP.
