Company History

With over 100 years of business heritage, Burtronics Business Systems' is among the oldest and most respected businesses in the Inland Empire. We are a local company that has literally been in business across three centuries. Not many companies can make that claim.

How we started: Burtronics Business Systems has been in continuous operation since it opened as Barnum's Bookstore in 1863, and by 1890 evolved into Barnum's Stationary Company.

After a merger in 1916, the company became known as Barnum & Flagg. In the preceding years, Mr. Toby Martin joined the business and in 1950 was president of the new division, Martin Business Machines, which handled the "Thermofax" copiers (known as "the Secretary") developed by the 3M Company.

In 1971, Barnum & Flagg had evolved into Martin Business Machines. In 1985, Mr. G. Perk Burnett purchased Martin Business Machines. At this time, the company name was changed to Burtronics Business Systems, which is now a leader in Service and Sales for the following manufacturers: Lanier Worldwide, Konica-Minolta, RISO Digital Duplicators and Samsung facsimile systems. Since 2000 Burtronics Business Systems has been an employee owned company.
