Toronto, ON - May 10, 2022 – Averna was recognized for overall business performance and sustained growth with the prestigious Canada’s Best Managed Companies designation.
The 2022 Best Managed program award winners are amongst the best-in-class of Canadian owned and managed companies with revenues over $50 million demonstrating leadership in the areas of strategy, capabilities and innovation, culture and commitment, and financials to achieve sustainable growth. Now in its 29th year, Canada’s Best Managed Companies remains one of the country’s leading business awards programs recognizing Canadian‑owned and managed companies for innovative, world‑class business practices. Every year, hundreds of entrepreneurial companies compete for this designation in a rigorous and independent process that evaluates the caliber of their management abilities and practices.
By staying ahead of upcoming innovations and industry trends, Averna has seen solid growth this past year. The overall pandemic situation has forced many companies to pivot their operations and Averna was prepared to help its global customers through their manufacturing challenges. Conscious decisions to focus on medical devices, electrification market and industrial controls allowed Averna to deliver record results.
“The 2022 Best Managed winners exemplify innovation, adaptability, and resilience in the face of uncertainty,” said Lorrie King, Partner, Deloitte Private and Co-Leader, Canada’s Best Managed Companies program “Over the past year, these forward-forging companies have pivoted to successfully respond to challenges and capitalize on new opportunities, leveraging industry-leading competencies to maximize their investments and drive sustainable growth.”
Applicants are evaluated by an independent judging panel comprised of representatives from program sponsors in addition to special guest judges. 2022 Best Managed companies share commonalities that include (but are not limited to) putting their people and culture at the forefront, focusing on their ESG strategies, and doubling down on accelerated digitization.
“I am delighted that our team is being recognized again for the incredible efforts they have made this year,” said Francois Rainville, President and CEO of Averna. “It is a confirmation that our core values of teamwork and commitment, innovation and knowledge, performance and leadership, and customer satisfaction are the right compass. With 9 offices in 7 countries, our team has demonstrated its ability to bring its local leadership in Test & Measurement to international and world-class customers.”
“This year’s Best Managed winners displayed courage, resourcefulness, and creativity as they explored new avenues for advancement,” said Derrick Dempster, Partner, Deloitte Private and Co-Leader, Canada’s Best Managed Companies program. “We’re extremely proud to recognize their impressive achievements in such a rapidly changing business world. Their successes demonstrate the importance of strong leadership and forethought in driving long-term growth.”
2022 winners of the Canada’s Best Managed Companies award will be honoured at galas across the country. The Best Managed virtual symposium will address leading-edge business issues that are key to the success of today’s business leaders.
