CCI THERMAL TECHNOLOGIES CELEBRATES CANADA'S 50 BEST MANAGED AWARD

Howard Mozel, Oakville Beaver Staff

Mar 24, 2006 (Originally published in the Oakville Beaver)

While CCI Thermal Technologies Inc. is spread over four North American locations, its President and COO made it crystal clear last week that the Oakville facility was integral to the company being named one of Canada's 50 Best Managed Companies for 2005.

"You in Oakville should feel quite proud of this award," Bernard Moore told the assembled local employees at a celebratory lunch Thursday.

One ingredient that was certainly factored into making the list, Moore continued, was the record of two and a half years without lost time accidents at the Oakville location - yet another reason for jubilation.

CCI Thermal Technologies Inc. was selected one of Canada's 50 Best Managed Companies through a program sponsored by Deloitte, CIBC Commercial Banking, National Post and Queen's University School of Business that recognizes outstanding Canadian companies from a wide range of industries that have implemented and maintained world-class best-business practices.

Canada's 50 Best Managed Companies are evaluated on how they manage key challenges such as new technology adoption, globalization, and branding. Other considerations include leveraging and developing core competencies, facilitating growth and managing the new generation of people entering the labor market.

CCI Thermal Technologies Inc. is a global leader in advanced heating solutions, supplying customers through both its direct sales force and through high-quality manufacturer's representatives in more than 45 countries. Pursuing aggressive expansion into new and emerging domestic and international markets, CCI Thermal Technologies Inc. regularly achieves double-digit annual sales growth.

Moore told the crowd that the name of the award is a little unfortunate, since the honor was not attained by management alone but through the hard work of all employees.

"This prestigious national award is a tremendous compliment to all of our employees," said Moore, who also lauded workers for drastically improving customer service over the past three years. "It is recognition of years of their diligent efforts. It also confirms to our valued customers our commitment to being their vendor of choice."

CCI Thermal Edmonton is the corporate head office for the company. Opened in April 1997, the Oakville facility was custom built and the location was chosen for its convenient access to road, rail, air and sea routes for shipments throughout the Americas and around the world. It is the main fabrication site for the Caloritech™ line of electrical heating equipment for industrial processes and environments.

This facility - which employs 90 people - is certified ISO9001, carries the Chinese Safety Quality License for Import Boilers and Pressure Vessels, and meets ASME standards requiring the most stringent quality assurance control.

Third party inspector Marian Komor, an invited guest of Thursday's celebration, characterized CCI Thermal Technologies as an "exceptional company," one that designs and manufactures steam to nuclear equipment to only the highest standards. Better still, it does so safely and builds components that are equally safe when put to use by customers.

Moore - who hails from Oakville but now works at the Edmonton headquarters - said it was easy to sing the praises of the local facility. In fact, he said, the facility's lost-time record means more to him than the Best Managed award.

Oakville-based Caloritech™ (with a branch in Orillia ) was bought in 2001 by CCI Thermal Technologies Inc. Moore, its Vice President and General Manager at the time, says the parent company has allowed Caloritech™ to maintain its core values, resulting in high employee retention, capital investment, improved customer service and more.

With all this in place, Moore explained, it was a perfect time to apply for the Canada's 50 Best Managed Companies for 2005.

"It's very rare to make it on the first try," he said.

In addition to being a source of pride for employees, Moore explained that such an award has many spin-off benefits as well: customers prefer to buy from, and people like to work for, reputable companies and such an honor will help with marketing. (Moore's business card displays the Canada's 50 Best Managed Companies logo.) He also said it sets the bar high for the company's future endeavors.

LOCAL COMPANY EARNS NATIONAL HONOURS

Amy Lazar, The Packet and Times

Mar 24, 2006 (Originally published in The Packet and Times)

ORILLIA - CCI Thermal Technologies employees knew they won something because it isn\'t every day the head honcho stops by for lunch.

"You've won a contest you didn't even know you were in," President Bernie Moore told about 140 employees who had gathered in the lunchroom at the plant on Hunter Valley Road yesterday.

The company, which started in 1965 manufacturing and selling heating elements, has been named one of Canada's 50 Best Managed Companies, he told them.

"Orillia played a very strong part in this," said Moore.

The business award program recognizes excellence in Canadian-owned companies with revenues of more than $10 million.

CCI Thermal Technologies' largest customer is Bombardier, which uses its heaters to keep its customers warm.

While that made it onto the application last summer, so did a few anecdotes from the local plant that illustrate managing challenges like new technology adoption, globalization and branding - some of the criteria for the nod.

"When we started on-time delivery measurement, Orillia was at about 65 percent," Moore said. "Now you are routinely in the 90s. Many customers buy from us today because we deliver on time."

He also mentioned the acquisition of Wellman Thermal Systems, which meant the Orillia plant, which was built in 2000, had to expand its production capability.

"We moved all our customers and didn't lose one," Moore said. "With a transition like that, it is unheard of."

Every employee received a token of appreciation after lunch, straight from the president's hands.

"The management and teamwork you've shown here today shows right here in this room - you've included everyone in the celebration," said Simcoe North MPP Garfield Dunlop, who brought a plaque from the provincial government congratulating the company on its achievement.

CCI Thermal Technologies is among 49 other noted companies, including Barrie Metals Group of Companies.

MANAGEMENT KUDOS FOR CCI

David Finlayson, The Edmonton Journal

Tuesday, March 21, 2006 (Originally published in The Edmonton Journal)

EDMONTON - When you're supplying critical equipment to such demanding customers as NASA and Atomic Energy of Canada Ltd., there's no room for error.

So quality control is a key issue at the cluster of five companies that is CCI Thermal Technologies, whether it's a gas recovery system for a nuclear reactor or an explosion-proof heater for an oil and gas facility, President Bernie Moore says.

"Quality is a mindset. Employees have to be able see the key process indicators so they know the improvements they are making. We have a bulletin board at every plant that shows the impact they are having."

Moore also makes sure workers are kept in the loop through regular round-table meetings, and he has a little book he takes around the shop floor to write down suggestions from staff.

So it's no surprise he gives most of the credit to the company's 360 employees for making the list of 50 best-managed Canadian companies.

Last week he travelled to the operations in Orillia and Oakville, Ont., and Greensburg, Indiana, to thank them all.

"It's an important award for us. People like to do business with well-managed companies."

CCI is well-managed enough it has been able to parlay strong technology and reasonable prices into selling heating elements to manufacturing powerhouse China.

But Moore is the first to acknowledge that having an independent board -- even though it's a private company -- has played a big role in keeping the ship steady, especially through four acquisitions in as many years that changed a small local company into a top North American player.

The company actually started life in 1964 as Ciscan Industries. When Harold and Cathy Roozen bought it in 1992, the 25 employees were producing the patented Cata-Dyne™ line of explosion-proof gas catalytic heaters for the oil and gas industry.

CCI Thermal was born out of a merger between Ciscan and DriQuik Inc. of Greensburg in early 2001.

Adding DriQuik™'s line of electric infrared curing systems more than doubled the size of the company overnight, and created the largest gas and electric-based infrared equipment manufacturer in North America.

Ontario-based Caloritech™, Wellman Thermal Systems Inc. of Shelbyville, Ind. , and Calgary's Ruffneck Heaters were added through 2003.

It has been a challenge getting them all on the same page while retaining the core characteristics of each, says Moore, who came to CCI with the Caloritech merger and became President last year as CEO Harold Roozen focused more on long-term strategy.

"The real trick is to have corporate standards of excellence, but have some local autonomy for the execution of them."

Now the divisions are integrated enough that they are making components for each other as well as continuing to produce their core products.

CCI doesn't make its bottom line public, but Moore says growth is 13 to 15 per cent a year, and he sees lots of room for further sales in the U.S. and eastern European oil and gas markets.

"Acquisitions will still be available, but our main focus is leveraging our technology and customer service to optimize the value of our existing assets. We are very pleased with our growth beyond the value of the acquisitions."

A bigger emphasis on research and development in the last few years should keep the company at the forefront of technology, Moore says.

The company built a $750,000 infrared testing facility in Greensburg to complement the natural gas research at the 9,000-square-metre Edmonton facility.

And they've launched a strategic marketing plan to raise the profile of each division.

"Companies can be very reactive, but what separates the great companies such as Microsoft and Toyota is innovation and strategic marketing," he says.

While CCI has worked hard to get all the divisions ticking over nicely, the irony of the fact the acquisitions initially made to lessen the company's dependence on oil and gas are now making much of their money in that field is not lost on Moore.

But with the price of oil forecast to remain above $60 through 2007, he's not about to jump off that horse any time soon.
