What Vohl does
Vohl Inc. is a privately held Quebec industrial manufacturer founded in 1918 and headquartered in Saint-Marc-des-Carrières. The company operates from a 75,000 sq ft facility with approximately 55 employees, producing a family of proprietary removable industrial snow blowers (VL-200, VL-275, VL-350, and the rotating VL-275-R and VL-350-R variants) that weigh between 4,445 kg and 5,443 kg and are designed for municipal and government winter road maintenance. Underlying manufacturing capability centers on Mazak CNC machining centers (V 7.5, V 15N with 4th axis), Mazak and Gildermeister CNC lathes, a 10 ft x 24 ft high-definition plasma cutting table, press braking, rolling, welding, painting, and shot blasting, all backed by ISO 9001-2008 quality certification and W47.1 certification from the Bureau Canadien de Soudage.
The business operates three revenue streams. The first is hardware sales of VL-series snow blowers to public works, municipal, and government customers in Quebec, Canada, and the United States, distributed through direct field sales plus cooperative purchasing contracts with Sourcewell (062222-VHL, awarded 2022-06-22) and Canoe Procurement, and channel partners Camquip and Cubex. The second is industrial parts distribution, an inventory of hand tools, oils, seals, gears, bearings, belts, hydraulic hoses and components, agricultural parts, welding equipment, and retail steel from suppliers including Renold, Sandvik, Sinto, NTN, Timken, and Petro-Canada, sold to industrial buyers across Quebec and Canada. The third is industrial subcontracting, offering CNC machining, plasma cutting, sheet metal work, rolling, bending, welding, painting, and shot blasting as shop-rate and project-based services.
Pricing is quote-based across all three streams; no public price list or tier structure is published. Customer acquisition is conducted through named sales representatives ([email protected]), local and toll-free phone lines, email inquiries, the corporate website, and social media channels (Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, Instagram). The company holds ISO 9001-2008 and W47.1 certifications, has no disclosed funding history, no M&A activity, and no AI/ML or software product lines. Revenue is not publicly disclosed.
