Member Spotlight: Quintex
This quarter we're proud to feature Quintex, a CSC member based in Winnipeg, Canada, with over a century of experience serving the heart of the country. As the fourth generation of
Quinton family leadership steps into co-CEO roles, Quintex continues to build on a foundation rooted in people and culture. They believe every individual deserves to be recognized for their contributions—and that belief shows up in how they operate.
Their commitment to collaboration extends beyond their own walls. Quintex employees are active participants in CSC's SOAPP, SMART, and SECURE Groups, and the value of that investment is something their team talks about openly. At the company's centennial, David Quinton reflected on the factors behind their enduring success. You'll want to read that one for yourself.
