50 Best Managed Companies logoAssociated Engineering selected as one of Canada's 50 Best Managed Companies

Associated Engineering has been selected as one of Canada's 50 Best Managed Companies. In selecting Associated Engineering for this award, sponsors of the Canada's 50 Best Managed program, Deloitte, CIBC Commercial Banking, National Post, and Queen's School of Business, recognized the company’s high level of business performance, sustained growth, innovation, as well as our dedication to staff development and wellness.

Since our beginnings in the 1940s, Associated Engineering has built our success as an employee-owned company; today about 25% of our staff share in the ownership of the firm. Our vision and focus on providing service and quality engineering to our clients has allowed the company to record more than 20 successive years of financial growth and return on investment to our shareholders. In the past five years, the company has more than doubled in size to over 650 staff in 14 offices across Canada.

The award also recognizes our commitment to our staff through training, development, wellness, as well as our community giving program.  In 2008, contributions to our communities and development totalled over $400,000. We also have a strong commitment to the environment, and, as part of our Carbon Neutral Program, have implemented initiatives towards becoming carbon neutral.

Kerry Rudd, P.Eng., President & CEO of Associated Engineering, advises "I'm very proud and honoured to receive this award on behalf of the company.  The award is a tribute to the dedication and hard work of our staff toward the continued success of the company, as well as my predecessors who established a strong vision for the company."
