History

Our History 

"Take care of the customers with quality and service. That's why we are here."
- Mel Burtnik Original Founder

It was 1957. Mel Burtnik, craftsman & artist, had a desire to provide high quality print to individuals & businesses in St. Catharines. One man, one letterpress. One satisfied customer at a time. What began as primarily wedding invitations, tickets and Church bulletins has grown to a full service, third generation company. The technology has changed dramatically - the notion of customer service and exceptional quality has not. The customer remains at the heart of Burtnik Printing & this ever changing industry.

We remain Committed to Quality, Service, The Environment & Our Community.

In 1978 Mike Burtnik joined his father Mel to further build a stronger company. Through the years they added like minded employees to help assist in the higher demand for quality print. By 1982 the company needed a larger facility and moved just a few doors up the street to our present location, 78 Queenston Street. Around this time, began the digital movement toward copiers with only black ink to start. Soon after was the complete change of the way art and design was created.
In 1998, both Kathy and Mike purchased the remaining shares of the company and the building so that Mel would be able to retire and that they could continue expanding the ever-changing services that our clients require. Every step of the way, Burtnik Printing stays true to their commitment to quality of service by purchasing the newest tools to enhance both the design and the print/copy services we provide.

"Yes, the printing industry has changed make no mistake about that... But the Quality of Service and our commitment to our customers and community will always be our reason to serve."
- Mike Burtnik President

In 2010, Jordan Burtnik joined his parents Kathy & Mike to learn the way of the business. Starting in the digital press room, then moving on to finishing & design, Jordan has worked his way through the company carrying his attention to detail and growing knowledge along the way. In 2020, he is taking on a leadership role in the company, looking to build upon the foundation his family has laid, while staying true to the quality of service Burtnik Printing is known for.
