In May 2013, SIM Digital acquired PS Production Services Ltd. one of Canada’s
largest lighting and grip companies, with offices in Vancouver, Toronto and
Halifax. The addition of PS further strengthened SIM’s global position as the

industry. In June 2014, SIM merged with Hollywood-based Chainsaw, uniting one
of the film and television industry’s leading suppliers of production equipment
and post-production services, with one of Hollywood’s most successful
independent post-production facilities.
