Boa-Franc Takes Top Honor at Grand Prix Awards
Saint-Georges, Quebec, November 27, 2017-For the second time in a row, Boa-Franc has received the highest award bestowed by the Quebec government on businesses and organizations that successfully apply best business practices.
A Grand Prix in the small to medium-size independent manufacturing company category was presented to Boa-Franc in a ceremony at the Palais des congrès de Montréal on November 16. This award is on par with the Malcom Baldridge National Quality Award in the United States.
The award recognizes organizational excellence and outstanding results, but Boa-Franc was further singled out by the jury for the quality of its strategic planning process and its attentiveness to both customers and markets.
The company has been piling up distinctions for quality in recent years. Retailers and other flooring professionals have voted it number one for quality over 27 times in surveys conducted by trade magazines, while it was named Best Employer in Canada in 2016 and 2017, took gold at the 2013 Canada Awards for Excellence, and got top honors at the 2012 Grand Prix Québécois de la qualité Awards.
The Saint-Georges-based company will celebrate its 35th anniversary in 2018.
