What Mobile Climate Control does

Mobile Climate Control (MCC), founded in 1975 and headquartered in Vaughan, Ontario, is a global provider of custom-engineered HVAC-R (Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning, and Refrigeration) systems for off-road, commercial, and industrial vehicles. The company operates as part of the Mobile Thermal Solutions (MTS) division within VBG Group AB (publ), a publicly listed Swedish conglomerate, with 501-1000 employees and manufacturing or sales operations in Canada, the United States, Poland, Sweden, Germany, and China. MCC's core technology stack includes computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation, environmental testing chambers, secondary loop systems for rotating cabs, battery thermal management for electric vehicles, high-efficiency heat pumps, and natural refrigerant systems using R-290 and R-744, alongside ISO 23875-compliant cab air quality control with multi-stage filtration and cabin pressurization.

The company's product portfolio spans eleven vertical applications: agriculture, construction, mining, defense, forestry, compact vehicles, off-road (UTVs/ATVs), critical services, autonomous vehicles, energy and utility, and transit. MCC serves as an OEM-embedded partner to major vehicle manufacturers including John Deere, Caterpillar, Komatsu, Polaris, Can-Am, Sandvik, Epiroc, Volvo CE, CNH Industrial, Kubota, Manitou, and Tigercat, designing and validating custom HVAC systems integrated directly into vehicle platforms from early engineering through production.

Revenue is generated through four primary streams: (1) custom HVAC system sales tied to long-term OEM supply agreements; (2) aftermarket parts and replacement components distributed through a global dealer network; (3) specialized engineering services including CFD simulation, thermal load analysis, and environmental testing; and (4) warranty and service contracts managed through the iWarranty portal. Pricing is quote-based and application-specific. The company holds ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, and IATF 16949 certifications across its major production sites, and is constructing a new manufacturing facility in Brampton, Ontario to expand capacity.
