About Us
History
Calabar Printers was incorporated in Burnaby, BC on February 4, 1970 by the late Stanley John Kernaghan (1921-2001), AFC, DFM. As an RAF Fighter Pilot during World War II in North Africa, Mr. Kernaghan once had to make a forced landing in the Port City of Calabar in South Eastern Nigeria. This dramatic war-time experience was memorable to Mr. Kernaghan, which he honoured many years later in naming his 'print shop': Calabar Printers.
Calabar Printers began by providing exclusive printing for Mr. Kernaghan’s primary businesses, and then moved on to build a diverse client base over the next three decades. Calabar provided printing and office supplies to increasing numbers of customers who continued to return year after year - and some have been using our services for over 25 years! Since 1970 Calabar Printers has successfully ridden the wave of technological progress and increased competition within the printing industry.
