Over the years, we’ve grown to serve a wide range of industries — including mining, pulp and paper, water and wastewater, and many other industrial sectors — with high-quality sealing solutions and industrial coatings for protection across various challenging applications.

Our products and expertise help keep operations running smoothly, efficiently, and reliably, even in the toughest environments.

From our head office in Vancouver, B.C., we proudly support customers throughout British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and the Northwest and Yukon Territories, providing solutions that protect equipment, reduce downtime, and enhance performance.

our history

Building a Legacy

In 1980, after five years in the fluid sealing industry, Mike Burdick set out to build a company rooted in the growth model he believed in. Together with his wife, B.G., he founded Progressive Sealing, becoming the exclusive representative for key manufacturers in Western Canada.

From the start, the company was defined by its family values, high standards of customer service, and a “never give up” attitude that set it apart. With a loyal and hard-working team, the business grew steadily — earning a reputation as a trusted partner to its customers and a welcoming place to work.

A new generation of leadership

Lucas combines his passion for technology and IT with a deep understanding of the company’s distribution products, customers, and sales management — gained through years of hands-on experience in the field. The tools and systems he has implemented have not only made the company more efficient and better equipped to serve customers but have also empowered employees by making their work easier and more effective.

Nicholas is analytical and inventive, with a strong engineering background and expertise in 3D printing. He thrives on solving technical challenges and finding innovative ways to serve customers and improve the business. He also oversees the company’s financial operations and leads the accounting team, ensuring the business remains financially healthy and positioned for growth.

Beriwan brings a strategic and organized mindset, with an exceptional ability to engage with employees at all levels and foster a sense of connection. She also manages vendor relationships and oversees operations with a steady hand and sharp eye for detail, ensuring that everything runs smoothly. Known for her ability to get the job done, she has also taken the lead in marketing, strengthening the company’s presence and message.

With a close-knit team of under 20 employees — including the three owners — each of them takes on multiple roles with energy, dedication, and pride. Together, they balance innovation, technology, strategy, and experience, united by their shared commitment to their employees, their customers, and the company’s future.

In 2024, Mike and B.G.’s children — Nicholas, Lucas, and Beriwan — took the reins, bringing their own energy and vision to the company while honouring its founding values.
