Sponsored by Deloitte, CIBC, National Post, Queen's School of Business and MacKay CEO Forums, this seal of excellence is Canada's top business award. The Best Managed competition recognizes Canadian-owned and managed companies with revenues exceeding $10 million for sustained growth, financial performance, management practices and corporate-wide efforts.

"It's not just about financial performance," said Peter Brown, Partner, Deloitte, and Coleader of the Best Managed Companies Program in Canada. The ingredients of success also include business performance and sustained growth. It requires determination and commitment on the part of the entire organization.

"This nomination is very prestigious in my eyes since this competition is nation-wide. This is a great way to showcase our organizational culture and the hard work of all our staff who are the secret to Fenplast's success. The challenge now is to continue to improve our business practices so we can maintain these honours in the long term," said Jean Marchand, President of Fenplast.
