Burke Group boosts large-format reach with Cowan Graphics acquisition

Burke Group of Companies has acquired Cowan Graphics, a Canadian large-format printing and signage company with nearly 80 years of industry experience.
For Burke clients, the acquisition adds greater production scale, expanded large-format and fleet graphics capabilities, and support for more complex, multi-location signage programs. With operations now spanning Western Canada, Burke Group will support brands managing larger visual communication needs across multiple markets.
“Our focus has always been on building the right capabilities to serve our clients at the highest level. This acquisition strengthens our ability to execute complex projects at scale,” said Ian Burke, owner and CEO of Burke Group.
Founded in 1945, Cowan Graphics specializes in large-format printing, vehicle wraps, building and environmental signage, retail and event signage, murals, decals, and specialty graphics. The acquisition adds production capacity and technical expertise to Burke’s existing operations, particularly for high-volume projects.
The Cowan Graphics acquisition is part of a series of planned expansions that have shaped Burke Group’s growth over more than 120 years in business. The company has focused on adding complementary services, specialized teams, and technical capabilities to support long-term client needs.
