EDMONTON, March 31, 2015 /CNW/ - All Weather Windows,
Canada's largest privately owned
window and door manufacturer, has achieved Platinum Club status
with Canada's Best Managed
Companies program by retaining its Best Managed designation for the
seventh consecutive year.
Sponsored by Deloitte, CIBC, the National Post, Queen's
School of Business, and MacKay CEO Forums, Canada's Best Managed Companies recognizes
Canadian-owned companies with revenues over $10 million that demonstrate sustained growth,
strong financial and management performance, and overall
organizational success. Platinum Club membership is the program's
highest recognition.
"It takes a deep commitment from every single employee in our
company to sustain this level of success. Our people have always
been a top business priority at All Weather Windows and this
achievement belongs to them," said Richard
Scott, President and Chief Operating Officer of All Weather
Windows. "We are extremely honoured by this recognition and will
remain committed to manufacturing top-quality windows and doors and
providing energy efficient, sustainable, and weather-resistant
solutions to Canadian homeowners, builders, dealers and
contractors."
The Platinum Club achievement is only the latest in a series of
awards and recognitions for All Weather Windows. Last year,
Alberta Venture named the
company the best overall workplace (750+ employees) in its annual
Alberta's Best Workplaces showcase. Other accolades include the
Canadian Home Builders' Association (Edmonton region) Supplier of The Year Award,
the Durham Region Home Builders' Association Outstanding Supplier
or Manufacturer Award, the Edmonton Mennonite Centre for Newcomers
Workplace Innovation Award and being named one of Achievers' 50
Most Engaged Workplaces for three years in a row.
Established in 1993, Canada's
Best Managed Companies is one of the country's leading business
awards programs that recognizes Canadian companies that have
implemented world-class business practices and created value in
innovative ways. Applicants are evaluated by an independent judging
panel on how they address various business challenges, including
new technologies, globalization, brand management, leadership,
leveraging and developing core competencies, designing information
systems, and hiring the right talent to facilitate growth.
"Companies that earn Platinum Club status in the Canada's Best Managed Companies program are
true leaders in the Canadian marketplace," said Jon Hountalas, Executive Vice-President,
Business Banking, CIBC. "They exemplify strong vision and
leadership, a sustained commitment to growth and innovation, and
ongoing dedication to their corporate values."
This year's winners of the Canada's Best Managed Companies award, along
with the Gold Standard winners, Requalified and Platinum Club
members will be honoured at the annual Canada's Best Managed Companies gala in
Toronto on March 31, 2015.
