TORONTO, May 14, 2024
/CNW/ - Maple Reinders was
recognized for its industry-leading performance, its business
practices, and its sustained growth by receiving the prestigious
2024 Canada's Best Managed Companies award. Celebrating over 30
years, Canada's Best Managed
Companies program awards excellence in private Canadian-owned
companies with revenues of $50
million or greater. To attain the designation, companies are
evaluated on their leadership in the areas of strategy, culture and
commitment, capabilities, and innovation, governance and financial
performance.
"We're honoured to have won this award because it acknowledges
our commitment to excellence" says CEO Harold Reinders. "We are driven to embrace
challenges and to engineer the best solutions for our clients, and
this takes rigour and discipline. This award highlights the
hard work and dedication of all our staff, which is central to our
success. Winning this prestigious designation is so important
to our company as it recognizes our focus on integrity, ingenuity,
and our people, and helps us attract like-minded individuals to
join our growing team."
Canada's Best Managed Companies
is one of the country's leading business awards programs
recognizing innovative and world‑class businesses. Every year,
hundreds of entrepreneurial companies compete for this designation
in a rigorous and independent evaluation process. Applicants are
evaluated by an independent panel of judges with representation
from program sponsors and special guests.
Maple Reinders had a record year
in 2023, achieving its highest revenue volume since
inception. Several key projects contributed to that success,
notably the Royal BC Museum Collections and Research Building in
Colwood, B.C. This new 15,200 square-metre (163,611 square
feet) building will be a state-of-the-art facility using mass
timber construction, will meet CleanBC energy efficiency standards
and will be LEED Gold certified. Also important is the
Highland Creek WWTP Upgrade project, in Scarborough, Ontario. This multi-year
project includes relocation, demolition and construction works, and
will ensure the safe and effective treatment of wastewater for the
City of Toronto for years to
come.
The 2024 cohort of Best Managed companies share common themes
such as having a people-centric culture, targeting effective ESG
strategies, and accelerating operational digitization.
"For over 30 years, the Best Managed program recognizes
companies who see challenges as checkpoints and obstacles as
opportunities," said Derrick
Dempster, Co-Leader,
Canada's Best Managed Companies program. "This year's
winners, including Maple Reinders,
have combined strategic expertise and a culture of innovation to
not only drive impactful business outcomes, but serve their
communities as well. They should be extremely proud of this
designation and use it as a catalyst to continue the work they do
every day."
