TIMMINS, October 3, 2013—The Timmins Chamber of Commerce is pleased to congratulate Panels and Pipes Incorporated (PPI) on being named a finalist for a 2013 Ontario Business Achievement Award.
Hosted by the Ontario Chamber of Commerce (OCC), the OBAA’s are the premier business awards gala in the province with a single focus on celebrating business success. Every year, businesses across a range of sizes and sectors are recognized for their achievements in areas including innovation, market expansion, exports and corporate citizenship.
After reviewing hundreds of nominations from across Ontario, twenty businesses have been selected by an independent jury for their successes, including Timmins’ own Panels and Pipes Incorporated, headed by President and CEO Jean-Paul Legault.
