In 2005 when Ian and Shawna Burke purchased Douglas printing, their first task was to turn the print division into a state-of-the-art print production facility. Over the next two years, we became known in the industry as a reliable, quality supplier, committed to customer service. A reputation we still proudly boast today.

Later, in 2007, we developed our direct mail marketing department and in 2008 the organizations name was officially changed to “The Burke Group of Companies Limited”. In 2009 Burke began producing large format printing which included point of purchase displays, wall, floor and vehicle graphics, banners and more. Due to the organization’s rapid expansion, Burke purchased a new building in 2011 that could accommodate all our different departments under one roof. Once we moved into our new location our focus was creating a fully operational design house within Burke, which is now running and producing quality design for many print and digital marketing clients’ alike. Finally, we completed our full line of services in 2014 when we purchased a local commercial signage producer, King Sign. King Sign has allowed us to begin offering commercial, wayfinding and directional signage in addition to our already successful large format print services. Burke moved King Sign into our building in 2015 and now both companies are running together like a well-oiled machine. In May of 2017, Burke further expanded by purchasing our largest and most respected competitor, McCallum Printing. By combining our companies, we have created a unique opportunity to unite years of experience and unparalleled knowledge. This has been another step towards offering our customers the best service, products and variety possible. Finally, we expanded geographically with the purchase of two of Calgary’s largest and most highly regarded printing operations, Topline Printing and Printcor. This purchase offers complete redundancy throughout our operation, ensuring our solid commitment to customer timelines.

Thanks to these purchases and our team’s commitment to evolution, we can confidently say that we now are one of the most knowledgeable and experienced graphic communication organizations in Canada.
