Biography/Administrative history:

Show detail Hide detail

Partners' Film Company : The Partners' Film Company Limited was born as a result of a meeting between five employees of Rabko Television Productions and the owners of Sebert Productions in 1977. Their idea, to form a new Television Commercial Production Company in Canada, was fulfilled in January 1978 with the establishment of The Partners' Film Company in downtown Toronto. Over the next twenty years The Partners' became the biggest production company in Canada. In 1988 control of The Partners' was sold to Supercorp Inc. a company formed by Syd Kessler, Salim Sachedina and John Labatt Ltd. The relationship with Supercorp and Michael Romersa allowed The Partners' to be part of a well respected U.S. operation. In 1993 John Labatt Ltd. withdrew from their partnership with Syd Kessler and Salim Sachedina, and sold off the various components of Supercorp. On 24 May 1994 John Labatt purchased the remaining shares in The Patners'. In October 1995 The Partners' Group was sold back to Don McLean. McLean, Don.
