About Gordon S. Lang

Visionary. Entrepreneur. Business leader.

As founder of CCL Industries in 1951, the world’s largest label manufacturers, Gordon S. Lang is a true Canadian success story. There's a good chance you come into contact with CCL products every morning. The shampoo or air freshener that you grab in the bathroom either comes in a container made or labelled by CCL. A man of values and principle, Lang embodied all of the characteristics that make U of G business students special; humble, hardworking, entrepreneurial and resilient. 

"Work hard, don’t be afraid to take risks and be the one leading change, not following it.” - Gordon S. Lang
