What Ecovis does

Ecovis (legal entity COMERCIALIZADORA FLEXIBLE, S.A. DE C.V.) is a Mexican industrial thermal solutions manufacturer founded in 2001 and headquartered in San Pedro Tlaquepaque, Jalisco. The company designs, engineers, manufactures, and installs custom thermal equipment — including fire-tube boilers (60-1,500 HP), thermal oil heaters (up to 350°C, pressureless), biomass boilers (using agave bagasse, wood chips, and African palm fiber), autoclaves (up to 55 meters in length), water-tube boilers, vertical boilers, superheated water heaters, rotary dryers, indirect frying systems, heat exchangers, and economizers — all fabricated under ASME Section I (S), Section VIII Division 1 (U), and National Board R-stamp codes, with CE marking for European markets.

The company operates a quote-based, direct enterprise sales model with technical advisors designing bespoke solutions per client specification. Its proprietary MK8 micromodulation controller (with Modbus connectivity and NFPA-compliant flame supervision) is sold both as an embedded component and a standalone sub-brand product. Ecovis claims a combined 95% total thermal efficiency (85% base + 6% economizer gain + 4% MK8 gain) and up to 30% fuel savings for customers, with biomass systems offering up to 80% savings versus fossil fuels.

Ecovis serves at least eight industrial verticals: food and beverage, pharmaceutical, chemical, automotive, textile, tequila and spirits (via agave bagasse biomass), forestry and coffee, and asphalt/construction. It maintains a direct enterprise field-sales motion with no channel partners, supported by active participation in seven named trade shows (Expo Pack, Expo Food Tech, Expo Carnes, Ecomondo, FIGAP, Foro Mascotas, Food Tech Mexico). International reach spans North America, Central and South America, Europe (EU conformity certified 2022, with an 18-autoclave shipment to Poland), and the Middle East, with recent (2024) entry into the US automotive autoclave market. The firm is privately held under founder/family ownership with 11-50 employees and has a corporate affiliation with sister company Vimalub (industrial oils and greases) for cross-selling complementary products.
