In the beginning... in the 1970's young engineer, Kurt E. Warner as President and majority shareholder, together with his 2 younger brothers Gery and Rolf Warner started Warner Shell-ter Limited an industrial Shelter business in Winnipeg, Manitoba (Canada). In 1979 Warner Shell-Ter Limited Kurt and Gery Warner moved from Winnipeg to Vancouver. A subsequent move of Warner Shell-Ter to Calgary in 1981 had established the following companies: Warner Shelter Systems Limited, Calgary, Alberta, Anchor Canvas, Vancouver, BC, Hurritent Corporation, Vancouver, BC, Warner Shelter Corp. Vancouver, BC. All companies were identified in the past by the corporate signature of Warner Fabric Structures. Each company was a separate profit centre and was responsible for the orderly and profitable development of the selected target markets; however, Warner Shelter Systems Limited(WSSL) was in charge of the designing, development and manufacturing of all Warner products. From 1981 to 1994 Warner Shelter Systems Limited was selling its famous products, such as the original cross cable high Peak Tent, Warner Marquee, the Arabesque Tent and Joining System (the saddle tent /structure), the Modular Clearspan to Warner Shelter Corp.,which in turn, sold them under the name of Marquee, Saddle clear span, Maxheadroom to various customers in different markets.

WSSL 만세 !! " "Herein I make a story of my experience of WSSL structures as below. I run a tent company in South Korea. I first learned about WSSL through the internet. I figure back then, WSSL offered competitive price for their tents, so I made the contact. We put up a permanent structure in Yeoju city (40 KM south of Seoul). It has been already ten years, and I am proud to say that we have yet to have any problem with the structure nor any fixtures after the initial set up. I cannot believe how quickly time passes since it feels like yesterday when I took Korean livestock cooperative officials to Calgary to see WSSL. With their great quality and reputation, I sincerely hope WSSL will continue to flourish in global market and Korea. Hail WSSL!" as per JJ Lee (Michael), Sea Yeai Corp. Seoul Korea. •"Chère madame et monsieur Warner, Je tenais simplement à vous remercier du plus profond du coeur.
