The Loomex Group

What The Loomex Group does

The Loomex Group Ltd. is a privately held Canadian professional services firm headquartered at the Peterborough Regional Airport in Ontario, founded in 2009 (rebranded from Loomex Property Management in 2013) and led by President & CEO Trent Gervais. The company operates a multi-divisional services platform spanning five core service lines — Aerospace (full-service airport management and TP312/SMS/GRF compliance for municipal, industrial, and healthcare airports including Peterborough, Dryden, Nakina, High Level, and Billy Bishop), Response & Readiness (emergency management, fire & life safety, EOC support, and full-scale exercises), Indigenous Resiliency Services (evacuation coordination, training, and after-action reviews for First Nations communities), Construction & Infrastructure Services, and L•Hub Business Support Services — supported by two wholly owned subsidiaries, Explorer Solutions (Canada and USA) for economic development and ACF Associates for aerospace defence performance management.

The Loomex Group generates revenue primarily through multi-year managed services contracts for airport operations, project-based professional consulting (compliance audits, community risk assessments, fire master plans, governance studies), defence consulting under ITB Policy frameworks (notably two Boeing Vancouver contracts valued at $10M USD combined and a DND/CAF Clothing Program contract), and training and exercise delivery across an in-house curriculum of 13+ Aerospace and 9 Response & Readiness courses delivered on-site, live online, or blended. Its technology footprint is services-led: proprietary training infrastructure includes a 40-foot jet simulator and dedicated EOC simulation cell housed in the Studio YPQ multi-purpose building at headquarters, with methods aligned to Transport Canada CARs/TP312 and ICAO standards. Go-to-market is sales-led enterprise/B2G engagement with municipalities, airports, Indigenous communities, and defence primes, delivered via direct long-term contracts, the Delta Wildfire Response channel partnership in Ontario, and subsidiary distribution through Explorer Solutions and ACF Associates across Canada and the Midwestern U.S.
