Global Emissions Systems

What Global Emissions Systems does

Global Emissions Systems Inc. (GESi) is a privately held Canadian emissions control technology company founded in 2001 and headquartered in Whitby, Ontario, with a US office in Troutman, North Carolina. The company designs, engineers, and manufactures a portfolio of emissions control devices — Three-Way Catalysts, Diesel Oxidation Catalysts (DOC), Diesel Particulate Filters (DPF), Selective Catalyst Reduction (SCR), Oxidation Catalysts, Partial Flow Filters (PFF), and Gasoline Particulate Filters (GPF) — applicable to gasoline, diesel, natural gas, propane, biogas, landfill methane, and syngas engines spanning small gas-powered equipment to 3,000 HP power generation plants. Proprietary technology centers on the patented Dry Selective Catalyst (DSC™), a proprietary wash coat and DPFXFIT coating that lowers regeneration temperature from 650°C to 380°C, and the Electronic NOx Control System (ENOxCS), a non-urea solution that reduces 95%+ NOx on lean burn natural gas engines while cutting operating costs by 60%+ versus urea-based systems. The company is certified across EPA (40+ certifications on 10,000+ stationary engines), CARB Level 3+ (Executive Order DE-11-002), MSHA, ETV Canada, and European Emission Standards.

The business model is hardware-centric, augmented by professional services. Primary revenue is generated through engineered-to-order emissions control device sales on a quote-based pricing model — no public pricing is disclosed because each solution is tailored to engine application, duty cycle, and emissions requirements. Secondary revenue comes from engine certification testing services executed on the company's in-house dyno facilities (Digalog Hypercell automated test cell control, 500HP Eddy current dynamometer, ECOM J2KN multi-gas analyzer, METTLER TOLEDO MX5 balance), enabling customers to achieve EPA, CARB, and other regulatory certifications. Distribution is multi-channel: OEM/embedded sales to tier-1 manufacturers (Cummins, Navistar/International, Mack/Volvo, Caterpillar, Paccar, Detroit Diesel, Isuzu); direct aftermarket e-commerce via the DPFXFIT (heavy-duty DPF/DOC) and G-Sport (high-performance catalytic converters) sub-brands; direct enterprise sales to fleet operators in public transit, waste management, construction, and mining; and co-development partnerships with ThermoKing, Carrier, and NYDEP. The motorsports platform — including NHRA Pro Stock team KB Titan Racing co-owned by CEO Eric Latino, NASCAR driver Dylan Garner sponsorship, and the "GESi Racing Culture" brand — functions as a top-of-funnel brand-building and product-validation channel.

The company serves four vertical use-case segments: Stationary Power (the largest reported, supporting 10,000+ stationary engines), On-Road Vehicles (covering 95%+ of Class 6 and 8 North American truck applications, school buses, public transit, waste management), Off-Road / Commercial Equipment (mining, construction, refrigeration units, material handling), and Performance Aftermarket (high-flow converters for forced induction applications up to 1,200 HP). Ownership is concentrated with the Latino family; Eric Latino serves as CEO, and the company has operated without disclosed external institutional investors, M&A activity, or public listing. Quantified performance claims include up to 99% reduction in HC/CO/NOx, 85%–99% particulate matter reduction on DPF, and 100% removal of HC, CO, and PM in specified public transit applications.

Broad incumbents

• Tenneco: Major global manufacturer of clean air and powertrain products, including catalytic converters, DPF, SCR, and other emissions control solutions serving light vehicle, commercial vehicle, and off-road OEMs. Direct overlap with GESi's DPF/DOC/SCR portfolio at significantly greater scale; now private under Apollo Global Management.
• Continental Emitec: Continental AG's exhaust and emissions technology subsidiary producing SCR systems, DPF, and catalytic converter substrates for commercial vehicles and passenger cars. Comparable product mix and OEM-embedded go-to-market model to GESi, with the backing of a major automotive Tier-1.
• Clariant: Specialty chemicals company with a catalysts business focused on emission control catalysts for mobile and stationary applications. Comparable to GESi's catalyst chemistry expertise, serving similar end markets including stationary power and heavy-duty diesel.
• Umicore: Belgian materials technology group with a major automotive catalysts business producing emission control catalysts for gasoline and diesel light-duty applications. Comparable to GESi's three-way catalyst and precious metal coating capabilities, with broader precious metals recycling integration.
• BorgWarner (Delphi Technologies): Acquired Delphi Technologies in 2020, adding emissions and aftermarket product capabilities (including aftermarket DPF/catalyst offerings) to BorgWarner's powertrain portfolio. Comparable to GESi's DPFXFIT aftermarket business and OE emissions integration.
• Corning Incorporated: Manufacturer of ceramic substrates and DPF filters used as core components in diesel particulate filters and catalytic converters globally. Corning supplies the substrate technology that GESi coats — a vertically adjacent but not directly competing player in the same emissions control value chain.
• BASF (Catalysts Division): Major chemical company producing automotive catalysts and emissions control materials including SCR catalyst formulations and base metal catalysts. Adjacent player with comparable chemistry expertise to GESi's proprietary wash coat technology, operating at much larger scale across multiple industrial end markets.
• Johnson Matthey: Global leader in automotive catalysts and emissions control technologies, supplying platinum-group metal catalyst formulations and complete aftertreatment systems to OEMs. Directly comparable technology stack to GESi's wash coat and precious metal catalyst expertise, but at far greater scale.
• Faurecia (FORVIA): One of the world's largest Tier-1 automotive exhaust and emissions control systems suppliers, with comprehensive aftertreatment product portfolios across passenger car and commercial vehicle OEMs globally. A clear broad incumbent reference point for GESi's embedded OEM emissions business, though vastly larger in scale and geographic reach.

Direct peers

• Clean Diesel Technologies (CDTI): Niche emissions control specialist historically focused on catalyzed diesel particulate filters and oxidation catalysts for on-road and stationary applications. Closest historical direct peer to GESi in scale and product focus, though the company has undergone significant restructuring.
