We have visited every plant together, have worked on every strategy together and faced challenges together. Over that time, Martinrea has grown its footprint, revenues, profits, profitability, cash flow and enterprise value. The past year, although with challenges, was a record one for us in many ways. As CEO, I look forward to working together with Fred, Rob and the people of Martinrea for a long time to come, and I look forward to our continued and growing success.”

We have grown into an industry leader in many areas and are performing at the top of our peer group, from both operational and financial perspectives. We have proven our capabilities time and time again over the years and are a go to supplier for our customers. I believe that is in large part because of the Golden Rule culture we promote here at Martinrea—we take care of our people and we treat them with respect. I am extremely grateful for this opportunity and look forward to continuing to work with our great team here and to deliver value for our employees, shareholders and other stakeholders.”
