Eco Guardian places No. 346 on The Globe and Mail’s eighth annual ranking of Canada’s Top Growing Companies, its sixth consecutive year on the list

AURORA, ON, Sept. 25, 2026 /CNW/ — Eco Guardian Inc. is pleased to announce it has ranked No. 346 on the 2026 Report on Business magazine’s ranking of Canada’s Top Growing Companies. It also placed No. 31 in the Manufacturing category. This is the sixth year in a row that Eco Guardian has earned a place on the list.

Canada’s Top Growing Companies ranks Canadian companies on three-year revenue growth. Eco Guardian earned its spot with three-year growth of 53% from 2022 to 2025.

Eco Guardian is a Canadian manufacturer and supplier of sustainable foodservice packaging, headquartered in Aurora, Ontario. The company supplies restaurants, foodservice operators, and distributors across Canada with cups, containers, and other packaging. It has continued to invest in domestic manufacturing capacity. This fall, the company is commissioning a new 8-colour flexographic press at its Aurora facility, which brings custom cup printing in-house and cuts lead times from 16 weeks to six.

“Making the list six years running tells us our growth is built to last,” said Anil Abrol, founder and CEO of Eco Guardian. “Our customers want packaging that’s made closer to home, delivered faster, and backed by a team they can call. That’s what we’ve been building in Aurora, and we’re grateful to the customers, partners, and employees who got us here. With our new press and another production capacity coming online, we’re investing in the next stage of that growth right here in Canada.”

Canada’s Top Growing Companies is an editorial ranking that launched in 2019 to celebrate the achievements of innovative businesses in Canada. To qualify, companies voluntarily completed an in-depth application process and met targeted revenue requirements. In total, 376 companies earned a spot on this year’s ranking.

The full list of 2026 winners, along with editorial coverage, is published in the October issue of Report on Business magazine and online at https://www.theglobeandmail.com/business/rob-magazine/top-growing-companies/article-ranking-canadas-top-growing-companies-of-2026/.
