N
ienkämper, a leading fine furniture
manufacturer with a home base in
Toronto, Ontario, has requalified
for the Gold Standard as one of Canada’s
Best Managed Companies.
The Gold Standard level of the program,
sponsored by Deloitte, CIBC, the Nation-
al Post, Queen’s School of Business and
MacKay CEO Forums, requires that a com-
pany maintain its Gold Standard status for
four consecutive years — 2014 was the
fifth year in a row for Nienkämper.
Owner Klaus Nienkämper is no stranger
to awards as his company’s designs have
been attracting attention for years. An-
other recent accolade was the prestigious
2014 GOOD DESIGN award handed out by
the Chicago Athenaeum Museum of Ar-
chitecture and Design, which recognizes
innovation and superior design produced
worldwide.
