About Burtronics Business Systems
Building Better Businesses Since 1863 — From Books to 3D Printers
​For more than 150 years, Burtronics Business Systems has been helping Inland Empire businesses grow, adapt, and thrive. We’ve proudly served our community across three centuries, through every change in technology and industry, with one consistent mission:
to help businesses increase productivity, reduce costs, and receive complete, responsive service.
A Legacy of Innovation
Our story began in 1863 as Barnum’s Bookstore, selling books to a growing business community. By 1890, we had evolved into Barnum’s Stationery Company, reflecting our expanding role in office supplies.
​
As technology advanced, so did we. In 1916, we became Barnum & Flagg, and later transformed into Martin Business Machines in 1950, proudly offering the latest office innovations like 3M’s Thermofax copiers, affectionately known as “The Secretary.”
​
In 1985, we adopted the name Burtronics Business Systems, marking a new era of digital transformation and cutting-edge business solutions.
​Committed to Service and Innovation
Throughout our history, one principle has remained unchanged: exceptional service. As business technology evolved, we embraced new frontiers, from phone systems and digital document management to advanced automation and cloud-based solutions.
​
Today, Burtronics stands as a trusted leader in the Inland Empire’s digital information industry, ready to help businesses of every size streamline operations, enhance productivity, and reduce costs.
