Fengate named one of Canada’s Best Managed Companies for 18th consecutive year
For the 18th consecutive year, Fengate Capital (Fengate) has been recognized for its outstanding achievements in business excellence by receiving the prestigious 2025 Canada’s Best Managed Companies award. With this achievement, Fengate maintains its Platinum Club designation, having retained its Best Managed designation for seven consecutive years or more.
Now in its 32nd year, Canada’s Best Managed Companies is the country’s leading business awards program, recognizing privately owned and managed Canadian companies demonstrating outstanding achievements in strategic business transformation and operational resilience, positively impacting their workforce and communities, and driving economic growth.
“It’s rewarding to receive this honour once again, said Lou Serafini, President and Chief Executive Officer, Fengate. “As we continue to grow as a best-in-class organization, we will continue to put our people, clients, and communities first as we strive to be North America’s most trusted partner for private investments.”
“We are honored to recognize this year’s Best Managed companies across Canada, who excel in all aspects of their business,” said Lorrie King, national co-leader of Canada’s Best Managed Companies program and partner with Deloitte Private. “These companies all help drive Canada’s productivity and innovation, which bolsters our economy, so it’s important to recognize their accomplishments and showcase them as examples and inspiration to the broader business community.”
To secure a coveted Canada’s Best Managed Companies designation, companies apply annually and undergo a meticulous assessment led by a multidisciplinary judging panel that evaluates leadership in strategy, capability and innovation, workforce and talent, governance, and financial performance. This year, judges analyzed investment, M&A growth, ESG and DEI strategies, talent retention and recruitment, purpose in local and Indigenous communities, digitization, cyber resilience, data-driven decision-making, and supply chain diversification and nearshoring back to Canada.
Canada’s Best Managed Companies continues to be the mark of excellence for private Canadian-owned and managed companies. Every year since the launch of the program in 1993, hundreds of entrepreneurial companies have competed for this designation in a rigorous and independent process that evaluates their management skills and practices.
