Legacy and Evolution

The Beck family name has been well known in Brantford since 1957 when Maurice Beck established “Beck’s Business Service.” A basic typing provider at its inception, Beck’s evolved into one of the area’s best-known full office overload services of the time. The company expanded in 1973, becoming “Beck’s Printing Services.” Steady growth has made it one of Brant County’s most reputable full service print shops with a commitment to the most updated trends and equipment to meet its customers’ needs. Beck’s full-service production area and skilled, experienced staff can handle all printing needs, large or small.

Production

Jon has been working at Beck’s Printing for the past 6 years. Always involved with customer centred organizations, it was a natural progression for him to take on the task of production when he changed careers. From printing, cutting, laminating and binding – if you’ve had a job printed by Beck’s, he’s been a part of the process.

Customer satisfaction is his top priority. He knows every order is of the utmost importance to every client, and ensures even the smallest details aren’t overlooked.
