Allied Blower & Sheet Metal

What Allied Blower & Sheet Metal does

Allied Blower & Sheet Metal Ltd. is a privately held Canadian industrial air systems company founded in 1974 and headquartered in Surrey, British Columbia. The company designs, fabricates, installs, and services industrial dust extraction systems, pneumatic conveying systems, NFPA-compliant combustible dust solutions, and HVAC/ventilation equipment for process industries. Core product offerings include centrifugal fans (2,000–70,000 cfm), baghouse filters, cyclones, rotary airlocks, steel-tipped feeders, spark detection and arrest systems (GreCon), and a full line of replacement filter bags (Albarrie), with the proprietary High-Energy PulseAir baghouse cleaning technology licensed exclusively for Canadian fabrication under a 20-year partnership with Air-Cure Incorporated.

The business operates a dual equipment-and-service model: it manufactures custom or standardized air system equipment in six fabrication/service shops totaling 100,000 ft² across Western Canada (Surrey, Vernon, Williams Lake, Acheson, Prince Albert) and Mobile, Alabama, and dispatches SMART union-trained tradesmen for installation, scheduled maintenance, plant shutdowns, and emergency service. Customers are enterprise industrial operators across seven primary verticals: wood processing (sawmills, panel/engineered lumber plants, wood pellets), pulp and paper, grain handling and food processing, mining and metals, energy, and general industrial manufacturing. Pricing is quote-based, with project-based revenue supplemented by recurring filter bag parts and maintenance service revenue.

The customer base skews toward long-cycle industrial capital projects, with disclosed track records of 30+ greenfield panel and engineered lumber plant pneumatic systems since 1984 and 10+ greenfield wood pellet plant projects. Allied is CWB-certified, a SMACNA member, COR-certified for safety, and a SMART union signatory since founding. The company is owner-managed (no disclosed institutional capital), and its wholly owned US subsidiary Allied Blower USA Inc., established in 2020, represents its first international operating entity.
