Tony Physentzou → President

Tony Physentzou's career began over 40 years ago, working for a stage lighting company, Strand Canada. He worked there for many years servicing and installing lighting equipment and electrical distribution. Tony then left Strand to work at Canadian Staging Projects, where he furthered his knowledge of lighting to include dimming and control systems. Always one step ahead, Tony made a bold move by partnering up with a coworker and opening Sapphire Staging Limited. Here they incorporated their knowledge of stage lighting to include full stage rigging and drapery systems. Tony's early years included complete installations in all the major Canadian TV stations, such as CBC, CFTO, and Global TV. After more than 10 years of business success, Tony and his partner decided to move in different directions. Tony then began a small, one man installation company, which is now known as Ontario Staging Limited.
