International Music Distribution

International Music Distribution (shortened to I.M.D. on their logo; and also known as Distribution Musique International due to Canada's French laws) was an independent music distribution company first based in Pickering, Ontario, then relocated to Whitby, Ontario. The company was founded by Jerry Wipf and initially operated out of his house on Baggins Drive (now Baggins Street) in Pickering, Ontario. The company was incorporated in January of 1996 (though it had been active prior to that) which resulted with two new partners coming in: Emilio Fulcro (based in Dollard-Des-Ormeaux, Quebec) and David K. Fowler (based in St. Catharines, Ontario and owner of the real estate company Ken Fowler Enterprises Limited). The company then relocated to an office building on Hopkins Street in Whitby, Ontario. The company folded some time in the late 1990's.
