In 1974, the branch was replaced by a Canadian corporation and named Effem Inc. In 2007, Effem was selected as one of Canada's Top 100 Employers, as published in Maclean's magazine.[2] Up to and including 2007, it was known as Effem Ltd which was named after the original founder Frank, his wife Ethel, and their son Forrest E. Mars.
