INKAS® Recognized as the Export Leader of the Year

On November 6, 2019, The Toronto Region Board of Trade hosted the 9th Annual Business Excellence Awards, an evening awards gala celebrating the trailblazers of Toronto’s business community who have demonstrated exceptional growth, leadership and innovation.

INKAS® Armored Vehicle Manufacturing was proud to accept the Export Leader of the Year Award for its remarkable development of sustainable international trade business which contributes significantly to the Canadian economy. Through global expansion and increased brand recognition, INKAS® continuously brings new business to Ontario and creates new employment opportunities across the region.

“This award is an important acknowledgment of how far we have come in the past 20 years,” says Margarita Simkin, Chairwoman, INKAS® Armored Vehicle Manufacturing. “My husband and I started this business with a single armored courier truck, and today we are one of the leading armored vehicle manufacturers in the world, dedicated to our mission of protecting vulnerable individuals.”

One of INKAS®’s competitive advantages is the development of its vast product line and 100% in-house approach to manufacturing, which significantly improves quality control and reduces production time. The in-house expertise from cross-functional teams ensures that the company offers the best possible product to its clients.

INKAS® believes that its people and the diversity of skills amongst its workforce are the key factors that have contributed to the success of the export-oriented business.
