It begins in 1969 when Luke Van der Melen opened his one-man sign shop in Norwood, Ontario.
Luke learned the craft of sign writing in his native Belgium, and brought that old world craftmanship to Canada when he emigrated in the late 1950s. He quickly landed a job with a Hamilton sign company, where he expanded his repertoire of sign making skills. Eventually, Luke decided to move his family to Norwood and start his own company.
Eventually, his sons, first Ron and then Michael, joined the family enterprise. They moved the business to Peterborough and then in 2006, moved to a new larger facility in Millbrook as business grew. But all things lead home, and in 2022, The Media Works returned to their brand new fabrication shop location in
Norwood.
Today, Michael Van der Melen and his professional staff are proud to continue the tradition of craftmanship, attention to detail and customer service that Luke established so many years ago.
