Our History
Belkin Inc, the predecessor to Belkorp, was founded by Morris Belkin in Vancouver in the late 1940’s. While attending the University of British Columbia and working for the student newspaper, The Ubyssey, Morris acquired College Printers Ltd to ensure continued production of the paper. Over the following decades, Morris and his wife Helen, transformed the printing business into Canada’s largest paperboard packaging company, Belkin Packaging.
After Belkin Packaging was sold in 1987, their son, Stuart Belkin, was appointed by The Board to the role of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. The company went forward first as Balaclava Enterprises Ltd and subsequently as Belkorp Industries Inc, and over time, Stuart led the firm into its three current investment pillars: real estate, operating businesses, and capital markets.
Belkorp’s success is attributed to decades of hard work, a commitment to learning from experience, a carefully selected team exhibiting strong business acumen, and a dash of luck.
Significant past and present holdings include multi-family and industrial real estate in Canada and the United States, Rogers Sugar, Wastech, Canadian Hotel Income Properties Real Estate Investment Trust, a portfolio of John Deere dealerships in California, Mohawk Canada, Newstech Recycling, and the Campbell Hill Landfill.
