 Aug. 17, 2011 —
FLO Components Ltd., an automatic greasing systems specialist for major
manufacturers, trucking, mining, construction and roadbuilding companies, and
other heavy equipment users, has won one of four Ontario Minister's Award
for Apprenticeship Training. The company was named top employer in the Central
Region, which contains over 50% of Ontario’s manufacturing, mining and heavy
industrial companies, and 100% of its automotive manufacturing plants.
Ontario
Minister of Natural Resources Linda Jeffrey presented the award on June 15 at
the Minister’s 2011 Apprenticeship Graduation ceremony in Mississauga.
Each year,
Ontario honours exceptional employers for their commitment to apprenticeship
training. This award celebrates employers that show leadership in training
apprentices, supporting the apprenticeship training system, and promoting
careers in skilled trades.
“What an honour for everyone at FLO. Who knew when we made the
commitment to be the first in the lubrication system industry to use skilled
trades that our efforts would be recognized provincially with such an award,”
said Chris Deckert, president of FLO Components.
