Mr. Speaker, on November 10, the Ontario Chamber of Commerce will give its large business award to Gennum Corporation.
Gennum is headquartered in Burlington and it won in April of this year the Burlington Chamber of Commerce innovative technology award.
Gennum was chosen from a record number of nominations. It was singled out for its performance and achievements in sales, in innovation, in entrepreneurship and overall business excellence.
Founded in 1973 and headquartered in Burlington, Gennum makes components for specialized audio and video applications through two divisions: the video productions division and the hearing instrument division. It has a design centre in Ottawa, subsidiaries in Japan and the U.K., and it employs over 600 people under the leadership of Ian McWalter.
I offer my congratulations to all the employees of Gennum who work hard to bring innovation right around the world, who distinguish themselves and our community and who contribute invaluably to our general community.
