Amongst a long list of honorariums to add to his legacy, A.K. Velan, Founder and Chairman Emeritus of Velan, has been awarded the 2015 Gold Medal by Engineers Canada.
This award is presented every year to an outstanding engineer who has stood out for his contributions to the profession. Amongst the numerous awards Engineers Canada gives out every year, the Gold Medal Award is their top distinction, dedicated to those that are truly at the top of their profession in terms of individual achievement.
This award once again demonstrates that Mr. Velan has gone far and beyond his mandate as an engineer within the valve industry. His achievements as an entrepreneur, scientific researcher, and all-around outstanding Canadian citizen represent his commitment to the community of engineers and to the safety and well-being of Canadians.
