Cogeco Cable Inc. 2005
3
A World to Build
Since its first acquisition in 1972, Cogeco Cable has never stopped growing. Increasing the number of services, extending our territory,
continually expanding our expertise, we do everything to respond to our ever-growing clientele’s needs and to offer the best there is in terms
of diversity and quality of services at the fairest possible price. We offer flexibility, speed, quality, reliability and choice to better serve
our clientele.
Today Cogeco Cable ranks second among cable system operators in Ontario and Québec, and fourth in Canada in terms of the number
of basic service customers. This enviable position is largely attributable to the confidence our clients place in us, to a team of dedicated
employees present in their communities, and to the ability to capitalize on growth opportunities. Cogeco Cable became a public company
in 1993, and aims to increase the profitability of the business on behalf of its shareholders while satisfying its clients’ communications needs.
A Winning Formula
Cogeco Cable has built a solid reputation. Since 1972, strong organic growth coupled with the acquisition of nearly 35 companies have seen
the Corporation’s number of revenue-generating units rise from 25,000 to nearly 1.4 million, helping to make Cogeco Cable one of the most
important players in the industry. Our growth has been even stronger and more decisive since 1987, with our clientele doubling three times
over the past 18 years.
At Cogeco Cable, growth means more than simply acquiring companies in order to boost revenues. We are also committed to consolidating
our experience and developing our products and services. It is these elements combined that have contributed to increasing our capacity,
and that of our team, for continued growth.
A Bright Future Ahead
The rapid and stimulating evolution of technology, as well as the abundance of products and services that it engenders, are the guarantees
of value-added, both for our clientele and for our shareholders. We continue our efforts toward customer satisfaction and loyalty through
the development of a service offering that responds best to their expectations, while ensuring rigorous costs control and efficient management
of capital.
At Cogeco Cable, growth is the future. Piece by piece, we continue to build on solid foundations, through acquisition, consolidation, new products
and services development and introductions, a capable team, as well as an unwavering dedication to improving customer service.
