BM Office Automation has been helping businesses of all sizes integrate print and IT solutions since the early 70s.
It started as a partnership between Marshal Mudryk and Jack Mitchell in 1974. The men had been working at Universal Typewriter but when the company went out of
business, they joined forces to launch Custom Business Machines (CBM). They ran their new company from the basement of Marshal’s home along with Val Mudryk, who took care of the administration. Later the Mudryks bought Jack’s shares and ran the business as partners until 1988, when Al and Glenn Mudryk purchased the company. In 1990 Glenn became the sole owner and CEO of CBM Automation. “We began helping companies communicate on paper by selling and maintaining typewriters, adding machines, bursters and decollators. Today we offer a full suite of services and printers that help with workflow, archiving, retrieval and administrative processes,” says Glenn. “Six years ago, we launched a full service IT division, adding digital communication to our list of expertise. In short, we help companies communicate both digitally and on paper.”

CBM has grown rapidly over the years. “We are a people-first company,” Glenn explains. “It starts internally in how we treat our people and transfers to our clients.
