Vancouver, BRITISH COLUMBIA — Oppy is proud to share it has once again been recognized as one of Canada’s Best Managed Companies, marking 25 years of this prestigious distinction.

“Being named one of Canada’s Best Managed Companies for 25 consecutive years, and maintaining Platinum Club status for 18 years is a tremendous honor,” said John Anderson, chairman, CEO and managing partner. “This recognition is a testament to our team’s consistent execution, our culture of continuous improvement, and our commitment to doing the right thing for our customers, partners and communities.”

The company remains focused on innovation across its operations, supporting sustainable growth and delivering results in a dynamic marketplace.
President and Chief Operating Officer David Smith shared, “Being named one of Canada’s Best Managed Companies year after year requires constant improvement. Strategic growth, including the Dole integration and beyond, creates the scale and strength that supports what we’re building next.”
