Eight local firms make Deloitte's list of best managed
Mastronardi feted for 15th year
Eight area firms from a diverse mix of industries made the list of Canada's Best Managed Companies released this month by audit and consulting firm Deloitte.
Six of those companies earned top-rated platinum status for making the list at least seven consecutive years.
Among the platinum winters were AV Gauge and Fixture, Centerline (Windsor) Ltd., Electrozad, Farrow Brokers, Mastronardi Produce (Sunset) and Red Sun Farms.
Achieving the gold standard for making the list four to six consecutive years was Crawford Packaging, while Omega Tool was among the new winners.
“We are ecstatic to have achieved this award,” said AV Gauge president Tim Campeau.
“It is proof of our employees' commitment to quality and excellence. “Maintaining our platinum designation shows our continued resilience and determination to be the best solution for our customers in a period of continued economic and industry changes.
“Our laser focus on operation efficiencies, innovative solutions and dedication to growth are part of the foundation for continued success.”
Canada's Best Managed Companies program awards excellence in private Canadian-owned companies with revenues of $50 million or greater. Companies are evaluated on their leadership in the areas of strategy, culture and commitment, capabilities, innovation, governance and financial performance.
“The 2024 Best Managed winners exemplify the highest Canadian business standards of innovation, adaptability and bold leadership,” said Lorrie King, partner, Deloitte Private, Global Best Managed Leader and Co-leader, Canada's Best Managed Companies program.
“Their relentless ambition, determined focus and strategic agility have led them to remain competitive on the world stage, creating sustainable economic growth in an evolving global market.”
For Mastronardi Produce, which is celebrating its 70th year in business, the win was the company's 15th straight year on the list.
“There is plenty to celebrate this year and we are so excited to recognize these milestones with our employees, our partners and the community,” said Paul Mastronardi, president and CEO of Mastronardi Produce, which is headquartered in Kingsville.
“This month marks our 70th anniversary as a family-owned company and receiving a Canada's Best Managed Company award is the perfect way to kick off the celebrations.”
