Angreen Photo was a Canadian company founded in 1961 when Montreal's Greenberg brothers founded it to operate the photography concession in Miracle Mart, a department store chain. Its acquisition in 1968 of a photographic store eventually grew into Astral Photo's 125 store-chain. The store grew quickly into motion picture processing after acquiring the Pathé-Humphries motion picture lab. The name was changed to Bellevue Pathé and later to AstralTech. Astral in its present day form was constituted in 1973 under the name Astral Bellevue Pathé Limited. Astral eventually undertook videocassette duplication and video wholesaling. Astral also produced or executive produced over 100 feature films and television programs and television miniseries.
