What Soteck does

Soteck, operating as Soteck Clauger since becoming a subsidiary of France's Clauger Group in 2019, is a Victoriaville, Quebec-based industrial engineering firm specializing in air treatment, industrial refrigeration, and energy efficiency. The company designs and builds HVAC, refrigeration (NH3/CO2), compressed air, and process air systems, primarily serving agri-food, manufacturing, and pharmaceutical clients across Quebec, Eastern Canada, and select international markets. With 110+ employees and offices in Victoriaville (headquarters and warehouse), Montreal, and Trois-Rivières, the firm operates as an Energy Services Company (ESCO), delivering turnkey projects with performance guarantees and facilitating client access to government subsidy programs covering up to 75% of project costs.

The company's core proprietary technology is MyPortal3E, a cloud-based energy management platform launched in 2025 that monitors, analyzes, and optimizes industrial energy consumption in real time using IoT sensor data, anomaly detection, and predictive maintenance. MyPortal3E holds ISO 50001 (energy management), ISO 27001 (information security), and SOC 2 (data security) certifications. Additional proprietary offerings include Soud-Air compressed air solutions and MyClaugerDetect detection systems. Soteck monetizes through a direct enterprise sales model combining field sales and inside sales teams, complemented by HubSpot CRM and a redesigned 2025 website. The combination of project delivery, recurring service contracts, and the MyPortal3E software/data layer forms a hybrid revenue model spanning capex project fees, multi-year ESCO contracts with performance guarantees, and software-enabled recurring monitoring.

Direct peers

• Ameresco, Inc. U.S.-based pure-play ESCO specializing in energy efficiency, renewable energy, and performance contracting for industrial and commercial customers. Closest analog to Soteck's ESCO-with-performance-guarantee model, with similar project-based revenue and energy savings monetization.
• GEA Group AG: German industrial refrigeration and HVAC equipment manufacturer serving food, beverage, and process industries. Comparable industrial refrigeration expertise with focus on natural refrigerants and large-scale plant design, though equipment-led rather than service-led.
• Spie SA: French multi-technical services group providing industrial HVAC, refrigeration, electrical, and energy efficiency solutions across Europe. Directly comparable to Soteck's industrial air treatment and energy services portfolio, with similar ESCO-style project execution and Clauger-like parent heritage.

Broad incumbents

• Carrier Global Corporation: Global leader in HVAC, refrigeration, and cold chain solutions. Comparable industrial refrigeration and commercial HVAC portfolio, but as a broad incumbent with a wider product mix rather than a focused Quebec regional ESCO.
• Honeywell International: Global building automation, controls, and energy services provider through Honeywell Building Technologies. Comparable industrial controls and energy management platform offering, but as a broad incumbent with a global multi-vertical portfolio.
• Johnson Controls International: Global HVAC, building automation, controls, and energy services provider. Overlaps with Soteck in industrial refrigeration, HVAC controls, and energy performance contracting, but operates at a vastly larger scale and broader portfolio rather than focused Quebec niche.
• Trane Technologies: Global HVAC and refrigeration manufacturer with adjacent energy services and performance contracting offerings. Comparable in commercial/industrial refrigeration and energy efficiency, though primarily equipment-led versus Soteck's service-led ESCO model.
• ENGIE SA: Global energy services and ESCO provider with deep B2B industrial energy efficiency offerings. Comparable ESCO business model and energy performance contracting, though at much larger scale and with broader geographic and technology footprint.

Regional players

• Black & McDonald: Canadian multi-trade services firm specializing in electrical, mechanical (HVAC), and industrial services across Canada. Comparable Canadian geography and industrial HVAC services portfolio, with similar enterprise sales motion to industrial clients.
• BGIS: Canadian facility management, energy services, and HVAC services provider serving commercial and industrial clients. Comparable Canadian geography and facility services orientation, though broader in scope (integrated FM) versus Soteck's industrial ESCO focus.
