POINTE-CLAIRE, QC, May 10, 2022 /CNW Telbec/ - Canada-based AMD Medicom Inc. ("Medicom"), one of the world's leading manufacturers and distributors of personal protective equipment (PPE), has been recognized for overall business performance and sustained growth with the prestigious Canada's Best Managed Companies designation for a second consecutive year. This award recognizes Canadian companies with revenues over $50 million that demonstrate best-in-class performance.
Each year, hundreds of entrepreneurial companies complete a rigorous application process and undergo evaluation by an independent panel of judges based on four key areas: strategy, culture and commitment, capabilities and innovation and governance and financials.
"It is a real honour for Medicom to be selected once again as one of the Best Managed Companies this year. It's an indisputable testament to the outstanding work of our employees, especially during the two-year pandemic. I would like to thank all our engaged employees as they made this possible," said John Tourlas, President, North America, Medicom.
Leading the way to better protect caregivers and their patients
In recent months, Medicom has redoubled its efforts to push its vertical integration and relocate strategic PPE production to Canada. In the summer of 2020, Medicom announced the opening of a surgical mask and N95 respirator plant in Montreal, followed by a second plant to produce the filtering material for masks in the Greater Montreal area and, a few weeks ago, the opening of a new nitrile glove plant in Ontario to supply mainly governments.
"Our commitment to protect has never been clearer. We are investing tens of millions of dollars locally in Canada to secure our local production and thus our caregivers and their patients who need personal protective equipment every day. They can always count on our expertise and rigor when it comes to infection prevention and control," commented Guillaume Laverdure, COO, Medicom.
Applicants to the Canada's Best Managed Companies 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. Medicom leadership remains firmly committed to continuing to pursue the company's strategy to ensure sustained performance, growth and industry leadership throughout 2022 and beyond.
