Ross Video At The Forefront
Digital Studio|September 2019
Ross Video was founded in 1974 in Montreal, Canada, by John Ross. A keen pilot, John sold the World War II trainer airplane he had painstakingly rebuilt over a two-year period for $3,500, and used the money as seed capital to start the company.
Ross Video At The Forefront

To this day, this is the only investment that has been made in Ross Video; the company has been self-funded since then and has grown organically through reinvestment of profits. Acquisitions have also been funded without external venture capital. David Ross, John’s son and Ross Video’s CEO, now owns 90 percent of Ross Video. Company employees own the remaining 10 percent.

GLOBAL COMPANY

From humble beginnings, Ross has grown to become a leading provider of broadcast technology solutions to customers all over the world. The company now has R&D and sales/ support offices in 4 continents, and a global workforce of almost 800 staff. From R&D to manufacturing, sales, marketing and technical support, Ross is a vertically integrated company that endeavours to keep as many of its processes in-house as possible. The company’s manufacturing operations and its headquarters for administration and finance are located in Iroquois, Canada. Canada’s ‘Silicon Valley’ in Ottawa, Canada, is home to the company’s marketing, research and development, as well as its North American product training and demonstration centre.

24/7/365 technical support and immediate access to spares is crucial when deploying mission-critical technology. Ross Video offers lifetime technical support by telephone, email, and Skype. Spares are stored at strategically located logistics hubs around the world to ensure prompt delivery when required. This quick-ship service is available to all customers who buy Ross Video products and not just those on extended warranty programs.
