Artopex Requalifies As A Best Managed Company
2.18.10 | Granby, Canada | For the third consecutive year, Artopex, the largest Quebec-based manufacturer of office furniture offering a full range of office products under one roof, has been named one of Canada’s 50 Best Managed Companies. Having been named for the first time in 2007, Artopex requalified in 2008 and now again in 2009 to maintain their status. This prestigious national award is sponsored by Deloitte, CIBC Commercial Banking, National Post, Les Affaires and Queen’s School of Business.
“This is the third year in a row our company has made it to the list of the Canada’s 50 Best Managed Companies”, states Daniel Pelletier, President and Founder of Artopex, “It is a source of great encouragement for our team, proving once again their talent and dedication to Artopex. For management, it validates the choices we have made and the
directions we have chosen.”
“To be accredited for three years as one of Canada’s 50 Best Managed Companies is a remarkable achievement.” said Calvin Younger, Senior Vice-President, CIBC Commercial Banking. “This award is a tribute to these companies’ strong leadership, talented workforce and unsurpassed corporate values. They are models of success for companies striving to reach the highest standards.”
2009 winners of the Canada’s 50 Best Managed Companies award, along with Requalified and Platinum Club members will be honoured at the annual Best Managed gala in Toronto on March 8, 2010. On the same date, the Best Managed symposium will address leading-edge business issues that are key to the success of today’s business leaders.
The Year 2009 was eventful for Artopex. The company was honored with three awards at the annual Quebec Federation of Chambers of Commerce 2009 Mercuriades awards including the prestigious “Business of the Year - Large Business”. Artopex also received a “Distinction in Industrial Design” awarded by the Department of Economic Development, Innovation and Export Trade (Quebec) in recognition of the integration of design within the company. At the end of the year, Artopex launched a new product line,
Air line as well as its plan for sustainable development, Everything and everyone under one roof.
This award gives Artopex something extra to celebrate in 2010 which marks the company’s 30th anniversary. “Artopex has spent 30 years building quality office furniture in our home province of Quebec and building solid relationships all over North America”, says Daniel Pelletier. He started the company in 1980 with a vision, a minimal investment and a small space. He was later joined by his two brothers, Maurice and
André. Artopex is now a privately-owned, family-run corporation with its headquarters in Granby, Quebec.
