Red Sun Farms has been named one of Canada’s Best Managed Companies for the 11th year in a row, retaining Platinum Club status, according to a news release.

The Kingsville, Ontario-based company is a vertically integrated greenhouse grower, with greenhouses in Canada, Mexico and the U.S.

“This recognition is a reflection of our commitment to spending time and energy to build and maintain good long-term business partnerships and the cultivation of a successful team,” Carlos Visconti, Red Sun Farms CEO of U.S. and Canada operations, said in the release. “In combination with our strong core values of accountability, collaboration, trust and innovation, we are building an environment that makes Red Sun Farms the ideal partnership for long lasting relationships. Our Red Sun Farms family embraces these values in all aspects of our operations. This recognition reaffirms our position as leaders in the produce industry.”

The Canada’s Best Managed Companies designation continues to be the preeminent mark of business excellence and has fostered and celebrated Canadian business success for more than 30 years, according to the release. 

“Canada’s private companies have been and will continue to be the engine of Canada’s economic growth, creating jobs through innovation and entrepreneurial energy,” the release said. “These companies compete with the best in the world to be adaptable and sustainable in an evolving global market.”

Lorrie King, national co-leader of the Canada's Best Managed Companies program and partner at Deloitte Private, said in the release that becoming and remaining a Best Managed Platinum Club winner is a huge accomplishment.

“Companies such as Red Sun Farms who attain this high standard of excellence demonstrate consistent resilience, versatility, and strategic acuity,” King said. “Year after year, they thrive in a competitive, rapidly changing market. This year’s winners should take pride in attaining this prestigious award in recognition of their significant and ongoing contributions to Canada’s business landscape.”
