Kruger Products achieves Platinum Club status with the Canada’s Best Managed Companies program.
2024 is the seventh consecutive year the Company has made the Best Managed Companies list.
MISSISSAUGA, ON, May 14, 2024 – Kruger Products is named a 2024 winner of the Canada’s Best Managed Companies Platinum Club designation, having retained its Best Managed designation for seven consecutive years. Kruger Products first earned its place on the Best Managed Companies list in 2018.
The Canada’s Best Managed Companies program awards excellence in private Canadian-owned companies, through a rigorous evaluation by an independent judging panel on their leadership in the areas of strategy, culture, commitment, capabilities, innovation, governance, and financial performance.
“I am proud of the entire Kruger Products team who consistently drive our business forward through their leadership, strategic mindset and culture of collaboration”, said Dino Bianco, CEO, Kruger Products. “Having attained the Platinum Level club is a reflection of our employee’s vital contributions and their dedication to our mission of making everyday life more comfortable.”
The 2024 recipients of the Best Managed Companies designation share common themes such as having a people-centric culture, targeting effective ESG strategies, and accelerating operational digitization.
To become a Best Managed Platinum Club winner is nothing short of remarkable. Their continued adaptability in an era of uncertainty sets the standard for how to overcome new barriers and demonstrate resiliency at the highest levels,” said Lorrie King, partner, Deloitte Private and co-leader for Canada’s Best Managed Companies program. “These companies truly impact how Canada is viewed on the world stage when it comes to the success of private business.”
