Oppy again honored among Canada’s best managed companies

Oppy BB #:116424 is proud to announce it has once again been recognized as one of Canada’s Best Managed Companies for 24 years running, being selected every year since 2001 and maintaining platinum status for the 17th year.

The recognition underscores Oppy’s long-standing commitment to operational excellence, innovation and values-driven leadership — pillars that continue to shape its role as a leader in the global fresh produce industry.

Earlier this year, Oppy was also named one of British Columbia’s Top Employers. Announced Feb. 11, 2025, the honor highlights organizations that lead the way in workplace best practices across the province. The designation reflects Oppy’s focus on creating a supportive and forward-thinking work environment.

At the heart of Oppy’s sustained success is John Anderson, chairman, CEO and managing partner, who marked his 50th year with the company this March.

“John’s half-century with Oppy is nothing short of extraordinary,” said David Smith, president and chief operating officer. “This Best Managed recognition is, in many ways, a reflection of John’s enduring legacy and the team culture he helped foster.”

Reflecting on the milestone, Anderson said, “It is a true honor to receive this recognition year after year. It speaks volumes about our organization’s commitment to excellence and the strong values we nurture. I’m incredibly proud to celebrate this achievement with the people who have made Oppy what it is today.”

As it enjoys more than two decades on the Best Managed list, Oppy continues to grow its global presence, fostering long-term partnerships and driving innovation.
