A Word From Management

ÉRIC DION

Vice President and Chief Operating Officer
AAA Canada

Dear colleagues, employees, clients and partners,

In 2008, the AAA Group, already well established in Europe, decided to open a Canadian subsidiary in order to diversify its presence in North America. More than 10 years later, we are extremely proud to highlight that AAA Canada employs several hundreds of employees across Canada.

The driving force behind this phenomenal growth is the contribution of each of these valuable individuals who make up the AAA Canada community. Their excellence, passion, determination and collaboration have made this journey possible.

More than ever, AAA Canada wants to contribute to the national and international development of the aerospace, ground transportation, energy and defence sectors. The high added value of our on and off-site approach allows the leaders of these sectors to subcontract their production to our highly specialized teams for whom quality is a daily priority. This is how AAA Canada helps create jobs and wealth across the country.

As Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, it goes without saying that my main mission for the years to come is to do everything in my power to ensure that AAA Canada becomes the Canadian leader in the aerospace, transportation, energy and defence sectors, in terms of industrial engineering, production and maintenance services. The road will certainly have its share of challenges, however AAA Canada's strength is to dare, to renew itself and to mobilize.

On behalf of the entire management team, I would like to thank the stakeholders in our great and beautiful community, which is vital to succeed in a world where mobility is constantly evolving.

AAA Canada is renewing its commitment to be your partner to success.

"More than ever, AAA Canada wants to contribute to the national and international excitement of the aerospace, ground transportation and defence industries."
