Canadian occupational health and safety distributor SPI Health and Safety has formalized a leadership transition by appointing its president to the additional role of chief executive officer while shifting longtime executive Martin Tremblay into the role of executive chairman.
The company said the move aligns leadership titles with operational responsibilities already in place within the organization. SPI said its president had been handling the responsibilities associated with the CEO position for several years prior to the formal announcement.
Under the transition, Tremblay will continue supporting the executive leadership team and overseeing the company’s strategic direction as executive chairman of the board.
“I would like to recognize Kim’s outstanding contribution over the past several years,” Tremblay said in a statement. “Her judgment and consistency have helped guide the organization with clarity and discipline, while strengthening trust across our teams.”
SPI said the leadership changes will not affect company strategy, governance or day-to-day operations.
Founded in 1972, SPI distributes occupational health and safety products and services across Canada, including personal protective equipment, consulting, training and technical safety services. The company serves customers across industrial, construction, manufacturing and commercial sectors.
The executive transition comes as specialty distributors across industrial markets continue reshaping leadership structures to support operational growth, long-term planning and evolving customer demands.
