May 10, 2023 — Jefo is proud to announce that it has once again been named one of Canada’s Best Managed Companies. For the eighth year in a row, the company has earned this prestigious honor, affirming its place among the top-performing, Canadian-headquartered organizations. Jefo also celebrates its second consecutive year as a Platinum Club member, a distinction reserved for companies that have retained their Best Managed status for seven years or more.

This respected award recognizes Canadian companies with annual revenues exceeding $50 million that demonstrate excellence in strategic execution, organizational culture, financial performance, governance, and sustainability.

“The Best Managed Companies award winners demonstrate exceptional ability to identify lucrative opportunities and successfully adapt to new situations,” said Brigitte Vachon, Partner and Best Managed Companies program leader for Quebec. “They embody resilience and innovative business practices necessary to thrive in rapidly evolving business environments.”

For 40 years, we have been committed to making life easier for our partners and building a sustainable business with a great work environment for our team. The future looks even more promising thanks to our dedicated team.”
