Siggi Haas is the owner of the German Advertising Advantage Inc (TGAA). In 1977, Berendsohn A.G. from Hamburg, Germany, a leading creator and manufacturer of promotional items, incorporated in Canada. After 16 years in management positions with Berendsohn, Haas purchased the Canadian arm of Beredsohn and relocated to Langley, British Columbia (B.C.). Since its inception, the company has steadily expanded, adding capabilities for producing art and film, plus printing, embossing, etching and laser-engraving. The German Advertising Advantage Inc. is one of the largest distributors in North America. In addition to the Langley, BC headquarters, TGAA offices were established in Calgary, Toronto, and Koblenz, Germany.

The Ethno Business Council of British Columbia (Ethno BC) was established in 1988 to recognize and celebrate the achievements of New Canadian entrepreneurs. Ethno BC acknowledges the contributions that multicultural businesses make to the British Columbia economy by recognizing the achievements of successful entrepreneurs who were born outside of Canada, and who have been in business for at least three years in Canada.
