Normand Caissie, accompanied with his executive management team, accepted the prestigious national award during the Gala celebrations in Toronto April 19th.

“It's a real honour to accept such an award on behalf of our near 1,000 employees in both Canada and the US”, said Normand Caissie, owner and CEO. “For a 38 year old startup company to achieve such a membership, you can just imagine all the hard work, passion, and dedication it took from our people over the years. Our employees, customers, suppliers…everyone working together made our organization a true success. We have so much to be thankful for.”

“Best Managed Platinum winners have exceptional insights and knowledge into business management practices. They are an inspiration and really take their game to a new level,” said Peter Brown, Partner at Deloitte and Co-Leader for Canada’s Best Managed Companies program.

“Best Managed Companies like Imperial Manufacturing Group exhibit exceptional business performance and outstanding leadership in the Canadian marketplace, sharing an investment mindset that places them amongst the best in class.” said Stephen Lund, Moncton Market Leader at Deloitte. “What sets a Best Managed Company apart is the ability to execute on its strategy. Goals become a reality when every individual within an organization is committed and understands what they can do to help actualize the strategy.”

“Companies that earn Platinum Club status, by retaining their Best Managed status for seven years or more, exemplify vision and leadership and a sustained commitment to growth and innovation,” said Jon Hountalas, Executive Vice President, Business and Corporate Banking at CIBC.

“We look forward to the next step of our journey.... continuous growth, acquisitions, new customers, new products, continuous improvement… all of this to become a better organization tomorrow than we are today” said proudly Mr. Caissie. “We live in a competitive global market and we need to be the best in our industry if we want to continue to excel for the next 38 years.”

Imperial Manufacturing Group was first recognized as one of Canada’s Best Managed Companies back in 2010. Established in 1993, Canada’s Best Managed Companies is one of the country’s leading business awards programs recognizing Canadian-owned and managed companies for innovative, world-class business practices. Applicants are evaluated by an independent judging panel made up of judges from Deloitte, CIBC, Canadian Business, Smith School of Business and MacKay CEO Forums. Best Managed Companies share commonalities that include an emphasis on culture and people, innovation, sustained performance and strong financial results. Platinum Club members are winners of the program who have maintained their Best Managed status for seven years or more.
