Streivor

What Streivor does

Streivor Inc. is a privately held US manufacturer of commercial kitchen ventilation (CKV) systems, headquartered and operating from a single manufacturing facility at 2150 Kitty Hawk Road, Livermore, California. Founded in 1989 as a stainless steel fabricator for the food-service industry and licensed as a C-43 sheet metal contractor since 1991, the company designs and builds Type I and Type II exhaust hoods (wall canopy, island canopy, and custom configurations), patented energy-efficient hoods under the SmartAire™ brand, multi-stage grease filtration under the ExtractAire™ brand, adjustable balancing dampers under the BalanceAire™ brand, and a four-tier demand-control ventilation product family under the DemandAire™ brand (Bronze through Platinum).

The company's product portfolio also includes self-cleaning hood variants (Rotating Water Wash and Ultraviolet/Ozonolysis), fire suppression system accessories (Ansul R-102, Ansul Piranha, Pyro-Chem Kitchen Knight II), utility cabinet systems, floor troughs and trench drains, and a range of hood accessories. Streivor holds three US utility and design patents, maintains UL 710/1046/1048 listings, ETL/Intertek and NSF certifications, and has received the EPA ENERGY STAR Emerging Technology Award for DemandAire™.

Streivor generates revenue through direct sale of custom-engineered CKV hardware, supplemented by professional installation and contracting services performed under its C-43 license (which also permits installation of competitors' hoods). Go-to-market is exclusively direct via sales representatives and website-driven quote requests, with all pricing quote-based and project-specific; no public pricing, distributor network, or recurring-revenue model is disclosed. Named customers include Google, Apple, Kraft Foods, Commerce Casino, and a California health center, spanning corporate cafeteria, hospitality, food & beverage, and healthcare segments.
