NEWS RELEASE: [SUDBURY-BASED] BESTECH REACHES 100 EMPLOYEES

January 3, 2012

BESTECH recently welcomed its 100th employee to the team, which is a significant milestone for the Northern Ontario engineering firm. Demonstrating that BESTECH does not plan to slow down any time soon, company representatives anticipate an additional 30% growth in employees for 2012.

Their hundredth employee is a true testament to BESTECH’s impressive growth since its inception in 1995. From its early days as a startup, BESTECH Co-CEOs Marc Boudreau and Denis Pitre operated the business out of a modest single office space on Lorne Street, which has magnified to 14,000 square feet, and the firm now comprises a total of four locations in three cities: Sudbury, Timmins and Toronto. These developments occurred as a result of continued expansion servicing various sectors.

BESTECH’s achievement of the 100-employee milestone would not have been realized without its supportive clients who fuel its growth, excellent employees who make BESTECH a great place to work, and visionary and supportive management that keeps the entire organization on track and leads the firm in the right direction.

The 100 employee count is a clear indication that BESTECH has reached a critical mass of talented professionals able to execute both large and small projects. “We are proud of our people as they possess vast knowledge and offer a wide range of capabilities”, said Denis Pitre, Co-CEO of BESTECH. “Taking into account our strong personnel and our ability to offer all services under one roof, we are able to satisfy both the engineering and product development sectors to a great extent.”

The multi-disciplinary firm continues to grow due to its successful development and implementation of an integrated project management approach, engineering design standards, and its ongoing communication with new and existing clients. BESTECH is currently seeking Engineers, Designers, Project Managers and Automation Specialists in mechanical, electrical and civil/structural disciplines to further complement its workforce.

“We presently have an exceptional team of professionals and we need to continue to have the resources and systems in place to provide innovative and cost effective solutions for our increasing client base” said Marc Boudreau, Co-CEO of BESTECH. “It is our belief that our employees are the key to our continued success.”
