Heinz Jordon

Our Company was started by the late Mr. Heinz Jordan and his wife Emmy in 1936. For the next twenty years, Mr. Jordan sold artist brushes to the commerical artists in Toronto. The company was incorporated in 1953 while it was located at 73 Adelaide Street West. In 1957, Heinz Jordan & Company Limited moved to Sterling Road and became a wholesale only operation with dealers across Canada. Following the death of Heinz Jordan, Peter Pfenning joined the company in late 1964. In an agreement with the late Mrs. Jordan, Peter Pfenning purchased the company. Heinz Jordan & Company expanded into the Fine Art field with the addition of Bocour Artists Colors to the range of products in 1965. The company has proceeded through a period of significant growth in the past 25 years. We moved a couple of times in the next decade, to Gladstone Avenue in 1968, 1977 Magnetic Dr. in Toronto and to our present location in Markham. We occupy twelve thousand square feet of office and warehouse space with an extended workforce across the country through our sales representatives and agents.
