The greatest celebration is saying thank you

Celebrating a century of milestones, moving forward

2023 will have been marked by the 100th anniversary of Premier Tech. As we blew out our 100 candles, we continued to move forward — inspired by our potential, driven by our ambition to make a difference and always fuelled to go beyond, reaching for greater heights. Drawing from that spirit and filled with energy, we celebrated being 100 years young, eagerly embracing the future.

People at the heart of everything

At Premier Tech, celebrating is at the heart of our Culture, and we love to celebrate together. All year long, we take time to highlight our journey with rallying events — such as the Annuals, the PT-SHIRT Day, the Top Managers Meeting and the PT Summit.

Each of these gatherings is an opportunity to connect, to acknowledge how each team member contributes to the success of Premier Tech and to say thank you. Our celebrations are vibrant expressions of our identity, strengthening the pride felt by being part of the incredible team that is Premier Tech.

The Beyond 100 Celebrations — a true testament to our diversity, unity and uniqueness

There was no doubt in our minds that the  5 200 Premier Tech team members, around the world would have the opportunity to take part in the festivities, highlighting this significant milestone in an unforgettable way.

Each team from our home bases was invited to create its own version of the celebration while incorporating carefully chosen elements to broaden and harmonize the experience: gathering around a meal, creating a festive and musical atmosphere, and taking a moment to raise our glasses.

Throughout the year, festivities offered a glimpse into the unique culture and characteristics of all the teams around the world, celebrating their diversity and creativity in the most beautiful way.

Team members in Vivy, France, capture the celebrations. From Johnston to Montgomery in the United States, through Châteauneuf-d’Ille-et-Vilaine in France, team members enjoyed a friendly atmosphere.

Vibrant festivities at the Premier Tech Campus in Rivière-du-Loup

Our World Headquarters in Rivière-du-Loup hosted the 29th of 35 Beyond 100 celebrations, during which some 4 000 team members, their families and many partners gathered for a memorable day and evening of festivities.

An outstanding synergy

This event came to life through the meticulous planning and dedication from many teams — Marketing, Infrastructures, Health and Safety, Organizational Development, Administration and many others — who demonstrated creativity, commitment and collaboration. We were also able to count on the support of key partners who joined this collective effort to create an exceptional celebration.

During the day, circus performers presented an amazing show on an impressive structure, pleasing the crowd with their performances. As the sun sets on the Campus in Rivière-du-Loup, the celebrations are still going strong.
