Andy Schlupp, founder of Resurfice Corporation, the manufacturer of the
Olympia line of ice resurfacers has been nominated for the Canadian
Entrepreneur of the Year Award at a special ceremony at Kitchener City Hall.
The Entrepreneur of the Year Program was created by Ernst and Young in
Milwaukee in 1986, and is now in its sixth year in Canada. It now honors
entrepreneurs in 40 regions in the U.S. and in 33 countries around the
world. The program is designed to recognize the accomplishments, innovation
and success of entrepreneurs and the companies they have built.
Andy Schlupp was chosen for his continuing development of innovative
technology in the Olympia line of ice resurfacing equipment; including the
newly launched CELLECT, (the world's first NiCad cell powered electric ice
resurfacer).
Resurfice was also chosen because of its continued growth in the ice
resurfacing industry to it's present world leading position, with 80 per
cent of the new ice resurfacer market.
Andy is one of 90 entrepreneurs across Ontario to be nominated for this
honor. In July 20 finalists will be announced and the Ontario Entrepreneur
of the Year will be honored at a gala function in Toronto, October 7th. The
Ontario recipient is then considered with four other regional winners for
the national honor. The national winner will go on to the International
Entrepreneur of the Year Awards.
