MONTREAL, Sept. 15, 2016 /CNW Telbec/ - Five Straight Years on PROFIT 500 List
With a five-year growth of 477%, Spiria (formerly Innobec Technologies) is in 145th place on the PROFIT 500 list of Canada's 500 fastest-growing enterprises. This is the fifth year in a row that Spiria has made it onto this prestigious list of most successful companies. "We have every intention of keeping Spiria on PROFIT 500's list. We are committed to growth for the years to come, and are currently looking at acquisition opportunities that will allow us to extend our reach to new markets and right across North America", said Stéphane Rouleau, President and CEO. "But regardless of what happens in terms of external growth, we are upbeat about the future thanks to our returning clients who keep coming back to us when they want a quality job done".
The PROFIT 500 list, produced for 28 years running by PROFIT and Canadian Business magazines, ranks Canadian enterprises by five-year revenue growth. "Companies become a part of the PROFIT 500 through innovative thinking, smart strategy and sheer grit," says James Cowan, Editor-in-chief of both magazines.
