May 14, 2026 – Champlain Seafood has been named a Gold Standard member of Canada’s Best Managed Companies program, a prestigious recognition that highlights its industry-leading performance, global business practices, and consistent, sustainable growth.

Canada’s Best Managed Companies program celebrates excellence in private Canadian-owned companies with revenues exceeding $50 million. Organizations are rigorously evaluated on their leadership across key areas, including strategy, culture and commitment, capabilities and innovation, governance, and financial performance.

Founded just over a decade ago, Champlain Seafood has united eight thriving, family-run businesses into one of the world’s largest processors of lobster, snow crab, and live lobster—building a reputation for quality, collaboration, and global reach.

“Achieving Gold Standard status is a proud milestone for Champlain Seafood and a testament to the dedication, expertise, and shared vision of our entire team” says David Saucy, Co-CEO. “As we continue to grow, we remain grounded in our values—quality, integrity, and respect for the people and oceans that sustain our business—while looking ahead to new opportunities to lead and innovate on the global stage.” This latest recognition builds on continued momentum for the company. In both 2024 and 2025, Champlain Seafood was also named one of Atlantic Canada’s Best Places to Work, underscoring its commitment to people, culture, and workplace excellence.
