Íâ¹úÃÀŮɫÇéƬ marks the occasion with a market open ceremony
February 25, 2014 (CALGARY) - NGX, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Íâ¹úÃÀŮɫÇéƬ Limited, celebrated its 20th anniversary by opening today's trading session in Toronto.
"This morning we recognize a significant milestone in NGX's history and a proud day for our employees," said Jim Oosterbaan, President, NGX. "In a relatively short period of time, beginning with the deregulation of Canadian natural gas markets and the launch of NGX in 1994, through the acquisition by Íâ¹úÃÀŮɫÇéƬ in 2004 and our alliance with ICE in 2008, NGX has evolved into the leading physical energy clearinghouse in North America. Today, NGX's founding principles of providing customers with liquid, efficient and reliable markets remain as strong as ever."
"Íâ¹úÃÀŮɫÇéƬ has proudly supported and shared in NGX's accomplishments since acquisition ten years ago," added Tom Kloet, CEO, Íâ¹úÃÀŮɫÇéƬ. "The NGX team has added great value to our organization and we are excited about their future prospects."
