The company was recognized for its industry-leading performance, its global business practices, and its sustained growth.

Canada’s Best Managed Companies program awards excellence in private Canadian-owned companies. To attain the designation, companies are evaluated on their leadership in the areas of strategy, culture, commitment, capabilities, innovation, governance, and financial performance.
Now in its 30th year, Canada’s Best Managed Companies is one of the country’s leading business awards programs. Every year, hundreds of entrepreneurial companies compete for this designation. Applicants are evaluated by an independent panel of judges with representation from program sponsors and special guests.
