CONXCORP

What CONXCORP does

CONXCORP is a Canadian lighting and sustainable infrastructure company founded in 1998 and headquartered in Mississauga, Ontario. The company designs, manufactures, and installs LED lighting fixtures, solar power systems, smart city communications infrastructure, and related wireless equipment for enterprise, municipal, and government clients. Its product portfolio spans roughly 13 distinct LED fixture families covering indoor applications (panel lights, linear and circular high bay, low bay, vapor proof, tube and U-tube lamps) and outdoor applications (roadway, parking lot, stadium, highmast flood, wall pack, wall sconce), with stated efficacies reaching 170 lm/W. Proprietary offerings include the CONX CONTROL smart lighting management system and the VIVIX Dark Sky Compliant outdoor line. The smart city platform uses long-range low-power radio systems layered on existing streetlight infrastructure to enable remote monitoring, fault detection, and IoT sensor integration.

The company serves a diverse customer base spanning automotive dealerships (Honda, Nissan, Kia, Chrysler), food retail and manufacturing (Sobeys, Metro, Winners, Frito-Lay), telecommunications and transportation (TELUS, CN), technology and construction (IBM, EllisDon), healthcare and education (Haliburton Hospital, Sheridan College, University of Calgary), and multiple levels of Canadian government (City of Mississauga, City of Burlington, Region of Peel, Province of Ontario). CONXCORP operates internationally through direct contact offices in Argentina, Uruguay, Nigeria, India, and Pakistan, augmented by a formal reseller partner program extending reach into Latin America, Africa, the Middle East, and Asia.

Revenue is generated through five streams: one-time LED hardware sales, a suite of financial programs (ESCO where CONXCORP assumes financial risk and shares savings, Secondary Capital, Lease, Rebate processing, and Sovereign Support via the Canadian Commercial Corporation), professional photometric consultation and lighting design services, installation and maintenance services delivered under multi-tier SLAs, and solar power system design and deployment. Pricing is project-based and customized with no public price list, and go-to-market is direct enterprise sales supported by a channel reseller network.

Revenue model

1. LED Lighting Hardware Sales: CONXCORP generates revenue primarily through the sale of LED lighting fixtures and lamps. Their product portfolio includes high bay lights, low bay lights, stadium lights, roadway lights, parking lot lights, wall packs, flood lights, panel lights, tube lamps, and U-tube lamps sold in various wattage configurations. Hardware sales are one-time purchases for customers.
2. Financial Programs (ESCO, Secondary Capital, Lease, Rebate): CONXCORP facilitates several financial programs to empower the procurement of lighting projects: (1) ESCO Program where CONXCORP assumes financial risk and provides upfront capital for key infrastructure projects, receiving a portion of monthly savings; (2) Secondary Capital Program where financial savings from LED conversion create positive cash flow for clients; (3) Lease Program with customized and flexible solutions allowing clients to lease equipment with purchase options; (4) Rebate Program where representatives process available energy rebates on behalf of end users; (5) Sovereign Support Program leveraging Canadian Commercial Corporation for international government procurement.
3. Consultation & Photometric Lighting Design Services: CONXCORP provides professional consulting and photometric lighting design services backed by over 20 years of experience. Services include light level requirements definition, photometric simulation/testing prior to installation, fixture selection and specification, and compliance with local bylaws. These services support and cross-sell the core hardware business.
4. Service & Installation: CONXCORP provides installation and maintenance services for lighting and communications infrastructure, including traffic lights, pole installations, municipal lighting, commercial lighting, public works lighting, voice and data communications, and solar installations. They offer multiple service level agreement (SLA) tiers to maintain infrastructure according to client requirements.
5. Solar Power Systems: CONXCORP designs and installs solar power systems including off-the-grid programs for remote communities and net metering solutions. These services generate revenue through system design, equipment sales, and installation for commercial, industrial, and community solar projects.
