PTI Transformers: Powering Progress, Transforming Care
From its modest beginnings in a small, two-door industrial bay over 30 years ago to becoming a thriving company with more than 450 employees across Regina and Winnipeg, PTI Transformers has always stayed true to its roots: community and family come first.
“PTI has been there for us as a family, so it’s important we give back in ways that matter,” says George Partyka, Chairman and co-founder.
One such contribution was a $75,000 gift to the Cancer Foundation of Saskatchewan’s provincial 4D CT Simulator Campaign. The gift would later take on deep personal significance when George’s wife, Janet, received a 4D CT simulation as part of her cancer treatment in 2021.

This commitment to community health continues into the next generation. George and Janet’s children, George Jr. and Jamie Carlson, are now leading PTI Transformers with the same values. Recently, PTI made a transformative $1 million donation to the Saskatchewan Breast Screening Campaign, funding two digital mammography machines for Regina and Saskatoon.
“We are honoured to be in the position to donate two new state-of-the-art mammogram machines for Saskatchewan,” say George Partyka Jr., CEO of PTI Transformers. “Breast cancer affects so many women, our family included. This donation will help to significantly increase diagnostic capacity in the province and contribute to more favourable outcomes for the women in our lives that matter to us the most!”
These machines were installed at the end of April 2025 and are already impacting the services provided to women in our province. Thanks to the dedicated team in the Agency’s BreastCheck screening program, an additional 25 to 30 exams are performed each week.
The improved patient flow has been noticed by staff. In Saskatoon, wait times are less than three weeks, and in Regina, wait times have decreased by three months!
PTI’s remarkable gift supports the $3.2 million Saskatchewan Breast Screening Campaign to expand screening access across Saskatchewan.
As PTI Transformers grows, so does its impact, rooted in the belief that strong communities create stronger futures. “Without local support, a smaller province like Saskatchewan may be left behind,” says George Jr. PTI is making sure it never is.
