In 1939, Ken Becker opened Calumet in Chicago as a storefront specializing in sporting goods that also sold some cameras. Calumet's destiny was shaped by a seemingly minor event. One day, a customer traded a metal-bending hand brake for a Deardorff camera. Becker seized the opportunity to use the hand brake to manufacture stainless-steel developing trays for local photo labs and photographers. The trays caught on,and this new manufacturing side of the business grew to include tanks, sinks and print washers.
Well, from that humble beginning sprawl the empire that is Calumet today with stores all over the US and Europe. Heck, they even have their own credit card !
So in celebration, Calumet Los Angeles is having a series of FREE demos and seminars, raffle prizes, promotional giveaways and more !
