Our Story:
Founded in 1980 in the Smith family garage, Mercana originated as a small art manufacturer serving the local photography industry in Vancouver, British Columbia.

We attend Las Vegas, High Point, and Toronto industry Markets and Gift Shows.

Our people are the heart & soul of our business. Everything we do is inspired by the strong family values with which our company was founded over 40 years ago. For us, success goes well beyond revenue and size but is also defined by a greater sense of community, purpose, and more meaningful business actions. We believe that balancing work & family life is key, and that we should always enjoy what we do.
