Why McGee Marking Devices?

We're Southern Ontario's Largest & Oldest Sign & Promotional Company.

For over four decades now, the team at McGee Marking Devices has been serving all Southern Ontario's sign and promotional item needs. According to President Don Snider, the reason behind their incredible longevity is simple.

"Our customers always come first," Don says. "We pride ourselves on offering exceptional quality products and making sure our workmanship is second to none."

Established in 1963, McGee Marking Devices is well-known in the community for providing a complete line of marking devices including ourdoor signs, awards and trophies, engraving, silk screening and decals, vinyl graphics, rubber stamps, shipping supplies and promotional items.

Their 4,500 square feet office and manufacturing facility is located on 10 Niagara Street in St. Catharines where over 80% of their inventory is manufactured on site. Their building features an expansive 500 square foot showroom where customers can choose from literally hundreds of different products.

Don has always been a strong believer in expanding his firm in order to provide the most benefit to his customers. It all started when he retired from professional hockey back in 1966 and decided to launch his own company, Snider Engraved Specialties. By 1975, Don had purchased and merged four small promotional businesses including McGee Marking Devices and began moving into other areas like trophies, silk screening and sign making.

With its long list of clients and state-of-the-art production machinery, McGee Marking Devices has grown into a leading marking supplier and manufacturer. They currently serve hundreds of customers throughout Souther Ontario - everything from small non-profit agencies to large corporations.

Don says the industry has improved dramatically since when he first started. Flexible vinyl lettering and graphics have taken the place of hand-painted signs. Silk screening projects that once took days to complete can now be done in a matter of minutes. And sports trophies that were once made of fragile materials are now much more durable and incredibly detailed.

The ownership has also changed at McGee Marking Devices. The firm is now owned and managed by Greg Sawchuk and Don's son, Jeff. (Jeff will be taking over his father's remaining share in the business in the near future.)

In 2008, McGee Marking Devices received a plaque from the St. Catharines - Thorold Chamber of Commerce for their 45 years of service to Niagara. Don says their firm commitment to their community and their customers will always remain strong.

"You can't be successful unless you love what you do for a living," he explains. "We love what we do here - and it shows in everything we do for our customers."
