LOOKING TO THE FUTURE
Building upon everything they have already
achieved, Stewart and Stevenson Canada’s
goals for the future remain focused on im-
plementing new manufacturing methods.
“In the future we want to focus on doing
things more efficiently, more cost effectively
and providing a higher value than we do to-
day to our client base, so their dollar goes fur-
ther than does it today,” saidWawrzynowski.
In 2014, Stewart and Stevenson Canada
reached unprecedented heights in their
health and safety division. Sigvaldason looks
to use that as a benchmark going forward.
“We’re looking to become the industry lead-
ers in safety. It’s one thing to beCOR compli-
ment, it’s one thing to be excited to maintain
that marker, but nowwe want to exceed that,”
he said. “Ideally to have the same number of
zero is the target, and just to keep pushing
forward and reach that marker and take that
recognition throughout the industry.”
With a two-tier approach to the future clear-
ly defined, Stewart and Stevenson Canada
are on the right path to success.
