The importance of customer care is just one example of Vidir’s commitment to community. “We really want people to feel like they’re not just a number, that they genuinely matter,” Rempel adds. Another way Vidir lives this commitment is the deliberate selection of rural communities for their locations. “They’ve always chosen rural locations just outside of larger centres on purpose for two reasons. The first one is the impact that the company can have in smaller locations — being able to donate to a lot of programs, offer volunteer hours, things that maybe otherwise wouldn’t be able to run in those communities,” Rempel explains. “But the second piece is also for the employees and for the quality of life that it allows them — being able to work at a company with a global reach and have world-class careers but not necessarily have to live in a city where you have to fight traffic or pollution or worry about safety.” Vidir recently received an export award from Canadian Manufacturers and Exporters, and the future looks bright. Mario Fontes, director of sales and marketing for Vidir Solutions, aspires to have Vidir become one of the largest original equipment manufacturers of the VLM material handling solution in North America in the next five years. “Growth is coming from all industries,” Fontes says. “The most exciting is from retail as we broaden our customer base and our solutions for machines that serve the growing e-commerce business as well as the growing demand for VLM in the manufacturing, distribution and mining sectors.” ■
