Toronto, O.N. – March 10, 2015
LMC Group of Companies was named one of Canada’s Best Managed Companies in 2014 for excellence in business performance. Sponsored by Deloitte, CIBC, National Post, Queen’s School of Business and MacKay CEO Forums, the Best Managed award recognizes Canadian owned and managed companies with revenues over $10 million for sustained growth, financial performance, management practices and the efforts of the entire organization.
“I would like to congratulate LMC and its entire workforce. Achieving this standard of excellence takes a united effort from a dedicated team,” said Peter Brown, National Co-Leader of Canada’s Best Managed Companies Program and Senior Practice Partner, Deloitte
The LMC Group of Companies has grown from a small family-run business established in 1977 to one of the largest mechanical construction companies in Eastern Canada. The company grew by tackling ever increasingly large and complex projects. LMC was the primary mechanical contractor for the construction of Canada’s Largest LNG Tanks at the Canaport LNG facility in Saint John, New Brunswick and was the major contractor for the first refurbishment of a Candu Nuclear Reactor.
