Dino Yes, I found that link, but my client was not listed. I'm checking to be 110% sure that they indeed did obtain a UPC prefix back in 1994.
I also got the following reply from George Laurer, the original inventor of the UPC code (isn't the internet great!).. "Goto https://www.gs1us.org/gepir and enter the first three letters of his company name. Then look down the list. If he doesn't remember the 1st 3 letters he doesn't deserve to find it." He has a web page located at: http://bellsouthpwp.net/l/a/laurergj/upc/index.html Unfortunately, Canada is not one of the country choices... Thanks to Alison and Glenn at Commport Communications who are members of GS1.Canada. They offered to use their login to research the company. It's possible that the online databases do not list companies who registered prior to 1997. (That's what GS1.Canada is claiming)... Time to contact GS1 in Brussels...
