Mari-len De Guzman (Editor - Canadian Occupational Safety)

July 26, 2011 (Originally published by Canadian Occupational Safety)

Canadian Occupational Safety is proud to announce the winners of the 2011 Canada's Safest Employers Award — Atotech Canada Ltd., CCI Thermal Technologies, Inc., GE Aviation, Innovative Automation Inc., and Pratt & Whitney Canada — Halifax.

AURORA, Ont. — The votes are in and the winners have emerged. After rigorous screening by members of the judging panel, the search for Canada’s Safest Employers has ended and five companies from Canada’s manufacturing industry have earned the title of Canada’s Safest Employers.

• Atotech Canada Ltd. (Ontario)

• CCI Thermal Technologies, Inc. (Ontario)

• GE Aviation (Quebec)

• Innovative Automation, Inc. (Ontario)

• Pratt & Whitney Canada — Halifax (Nova Scotia)

In its inaugural year, the search for Canada’s Safest Employers focused on the manufacturing industry. Over 100 nominations were received from employers across the country. In addition to the nomination forms — where nominees provided details of their health and safety management system — qualified entrants were also asked to complete a safety perception survey. The survey was administered to their employees and the results were provided to our judges for consideration.

The safety perception survey provided a snapshot of how a company’s health and safety programs and policies are viewed by their employees.

“Canadian Occupational Safety is proud to announce the five companies that emerged as the most exemplary in their safety performance and therefore, deserving to be called Canada’s Safest Employers,” says Mari-Len De Guzman, editor of Canadian Occupational Safety magazine, organizer of Canada’s Safest Employers Award.

“The response to Canada’s Safest Employers Award has been impressive. We reviewed over a hundred submissions and commend all these companies for the work that they do in keeping their workers and workplace safe.”

The award will be presented to the winners at a gala dinner on Tuesday, September 27, at the Liberty Grand Entertainment Complex in Toronto.

Canada’s Safest Employers Award was launched in December 2010 as a program to recognize outstanding Canadian companies that are making a difference in promoting the health and safety of their workers. The search for the 2012 Canada’s Safest Employers will open this December and will be expanding to other industries beyond manufacturing.

Canada’s Safest Employers Award was launched in December 2010, with the support of title sponsor Acklands-Grainger, as a program to recognize outstanding Canadian companies that are making a difference in promoting the health and safety of their workers.

“As Canada’s largest distributor of industrial, safety and fastener products, we understand the importance of building a strong safety-oriented culture and are energized at the opportunity to recognize those companies who are setting a positive example in their industry,” says Sean O’Brien, president of Acklands-Grainger. “We congratulate each of the deserving companies on their safety achievements and wish them continued safety success.”

Founded in 1889, Acklands-Grainger is Canada’s largest distributor of industrial, safety, and fastener products, with over 120,000 in-stock products available from 170 branches and six distribution centres coast to coast.

August 4, 2011 (Originally published in Greensburg Daily News)

Greensburg — Employees of CCI Thermal Technologies, Inc. gathered at the Greensburg Bread of Life Wednesday afternoon to serve food and distribute backpacks full of school supplies to local families in need.

The volunteers handed out approximately 60 backpacks containing notebook paper, composition books, crayons, pens, pencils and even treats to children ranging in age from elementary to high school students. The funds needed to obtain the items contained in each backpack were raised through the company's pedometer walking program, a company wellness initiative.

According to information provided to the Daily News by Susy Patti, CCI Thermal Technologies' human resources receptionist, 20 employees joined the walking program and divided into groups of four. Each team member carried a pedometer that measured his or her every step during a period of several weeks. The total miles walked were then combined in an effort to have cumulatively walked the equivalent distance from Greensburg to the company's two divisions in Ontario, Canada, as well as to the corporate office located in the Canadian province of Alberta. The total distance came out to be about 10,000 miles. Each of those miles was matched with a 10 cent donation by the company's owner, Harold Roozen. The end result was a total of $1,000 being donated to the program. The group has not quite reached the 10,000 mile mark just yet, but assistant general manager Peggy Williams indicated the teams would reach that goal in the near future.

The total funds collected were later used to purchase school items and backpacks for local families unable to afford them for the coming school year. An additional $50 was raised from the out-of-pocket donations of CCI employees.

On hand at the Greensburg Bread of Life Wednesday were eight CCI employees, all lending their helping hands to food preparation and service. According to Melissa Foist, who heads the Greensburg Bread of Life, all food items were donated by Walmart. Foist wished to thank the Greensburg Walmart Supercenter store manager Andy Dick for his help in assisting the program through his store's food donations and for "not letting good food go to waste."

At its close, the program was expected to serve approximately 235 meals consisting of smoked sausage, macaroni and cheese, fresh fruit and a salad. The macaroni and cheese, noted Foist, was donated by KB Foods, who she also wished to thank.

Susy Patti and Peggy Williams also stated another CCI Thermal Technologies charity is planned for this winter.

Orillia – July 27, 2011 – CCI Thermal Technologies Inc. is pleased to announce that the Board of Directors have approved an expansion that will double the size of the Orillia manufacturing facility. Construction will start immediately with completion expected in early 2012.

The Orillia team has focused on utilizing the current space effectively and efficiently using many world class manufacturing techniques. This expansion is necessary because of the introduction of new products and an increase in worldwide demand.

“This will provide the CCI Thermal Orillia location with suitable space to meet current and future production demand,” said Harold A. Roozen, Chairman and CEO. “We would like to thank Orillia Economic Development Committee and the Orillia City Council for their support.”

A master at mergers
“I think one of our strengths is integration of acquisitions and consolidation of companies and cultures,” says Bernie Moore, CCI Thermal’s president and COO.

Company name: CCI Thermal Technologies Inc.

Headquarters: Edmonton

Employees: 350

Market: Global

Industry: Manufacturing

The Challenge: Since 2000, CCI Thermal Technologies Inc. has been on a fast track to achieve its mission: becoming a worldwide industry leader in its core competencies. The company’s acquisition strategy has played a key role in this. In fact, CCI Thermal today is the result of the merger of seven heating and filtration equipment companies from Canada and the U.S. over the past 11 years: Ciscan Industries Ltd. of Edmonton; Ruffneck Heaters of Calgary; Caloritech Inc. of Oakville and Orillia, Ontario; 3L Filters of Cambridge, Ontario; and three US-based companies, DriQuik Inc., Wellman Thermal Systems and Flo-Dri Inc.

“There were four acquisitions in four years, and then there was a gap and we did two acquisitions in a two-year period,” says Bernie Moore, CCI Thermal’s president and COO. Through all this, CCI Thermal has faced the challenge all companies undertaking such a rapid acquisition strategy face: how to integrate or consolidate new acquisitions quickly and successfully.

The approach: “I think one of our strengths is integration of acquisitions and consolidation of companies and cultures,” says Mr. Moore. “It’s one of our areas of expertise.”

To begin with, the company is highly selective in what companies it will consider acquiring. “We have typically purchased companies we’re familiar with,” says Mr. Moore. “The companies we’ve acquired have either been competitors or suppliers or we’ve had some relationship with them before the acquisition. That way, often a phone call leads to the start of the process.”

What’s more, when looking at acquiring a company, CCI Thermal ensures there is a strong common foundation, even when the acquisition is for the purpose of diversification. “The real diversification for us was when we got into filtration in 2006 and 2007,” says Mr. Moore. “It’s a fairly obvious diversification for us for several reasons. It’s a similar customer base and similar manufacturing methods. As well, for a company to be of interest to us it has to value customer service and engineering as very important in its value stream because to be a North American manufacturer and to prosper, you can’t be low-tech and high-volume. Customer service is important because it gives you an advantage over the offshore competition and if engineering and complexity matter, that also gives you an advantage over offshore, lower cost competition. So filtration met those needs.”

The Implementation: “You have to ask yourself which areas of the companies you plan to centralize and which functions you will leave to local autonomy,” says Mr. Moore. CCI Thermal centralizes its IT, marketing and financial departments but leaves engineering and customer service to the companies it has acquired.

“There are certain corporate standards that we set when we consolidate companies,” says Mr. Moore. “You maintain standards of safety, quality, absenteeism and set high standards from the corporate level. We’re very proud of our safety record. We have had five years without a loss-time accident and we have impressive loss-time accident free streaks going in all four of our plants. You do have to leave local autonomy to recognize the unique nature of the companies you’ve brought in to the family, the unique nature of the clients they serve, so they do have some flexibility. You also have to preserve the value of what you purchased and in the value of what you purchased is the people and the engineering and the drive but it’s also the brand, what the product line represented to its customers and that has to be preserved even as you move manufacturing plants and change companies so that’s why we’ve kept the brand names alive.”

The payoff: CCI Thermal’s growth has been about 50/50 through acquisitions and organic growth. “The acquisitions have allowed us to expand in new markets,” says Mr. Moore. “For example, we’re a leading supplier of heating to the light rail sector, which we picked up from the Wellman product line, and we managed to grow that business quite significantly.”

As for worldwide recognition, consider this: CCI Thermal exports to China. “I think it’s a testament to a manufacturer’s ability to compete if they can export to China,” says Mr. Moore. “Typically, China just causes fear among north American manufacturers.”

Edmonton – April 8, 2011 - CCI Thermal Technologies is pleased to announce the release of the newly improved Ruffneck™ AH Advanced Horizontal Explosion-Proof Unit Heater

The new AH Advanced Horizontal Unit Heater incorporates an enhanced core design making it the first and only heater of its type to meet new requirements for Category H fittings in the province of Alberta and as a result is the most advanced design on the market. The AH product line is available for shipment, as of April 15, 2011 with the Ruffneck™ standard, one week delivery lead time.

“Recent changes to the CSA B51 Boiler, Pressure Vessel, and Pressure Piping Code have altered the regulatory approval scope and interpretation of Category H fittings for use in Alberta,” explains Michael Arbour-Neagoe, Vice President and General Manager. “A new CRN has been issued for our AH core design incorporating enhanced design features and manufacturing techniques to meet the new requirements.”

“The ability to swiftly implement these important changes showcases our pressure vessel engineering expertise that sets it apart from any competitors”, said Bernie Moore, President and COO, “only CCI Thermal can offer the new advanced AH heater together with the industry’s best recognized heating products to meet the most demanding applications.”
