Burnsco Technologies

What Burnsco Technologies does

Burnsco Technologies Inc. is a privately held Canadian industrial manufacturer founded in 1989, headquartered and operating two production facilities in Arnprior, Ontario. The company designs and builds custom environmental test chambers used by industrial and commercial clients across Canada for product validation, R&D, quality assurance, and compliance testing under controlled temperature and humidity conditions. Its portfolio spans four chamber size families — 5 cu ft benchtop, 16 cu ft reach-in, 37 cu ft large reach-in, and custom walk-in/drive-in rooms — each available in temperature-only, temperature+humidity, cascade-refrigeration extended-cold, and combined humidity+extended-cold variants, yielding 17 distinct SKUs. All chambers are built from scratch in-house using Watlow F4T programmable PID controllers and supported by Burnsco's own CNC sheet-metal fabrication and TIG/MIG welding capabilities.

The company's secondary revenue stream is contract precision fabrication and welding services, using Trumpf TC500R and TC240R CNC punches, Promecam shears and press brakes, and related finishing equipment, offered to a select group of industrial and commercial clients. Revenue is generated via project-based, quote-based sales with no public pricing; all sales and shipments are restricted to within Canada. The go-to-market is direct sales through the website (burnsco.ca), with technical specifications, model comparisons, and inquiry/quote forms serving as the primary marketing channel. Customer segments are described generically as industrial and commercial testing facilities and industrial manufacturers — no named enterprise logos or public case studies are disclosed.

Organizationally, Burnsco operates with 1–10 employees and is actively hiring across engineering, welding, CNC operations, and refrigeration assembly roles. The company is founder/owner-operated with no disclosed institutional investors, venture funding, parent company, or subsidiary structure. There is no public listing, no patents or trademarks on record, no announced partnerships, and no AI/ML, software, or digital product component to the offering.

Core offering

Burnsco Technologies designs, fabricates, and assembles custom environmental test chambers for temperature and humidity testing (benchtop 5 cu ft, reach-in 16 cu ft, large reach-in 37 cu ft, and walk-in/drive-in custom rooms). The company also provides contract precision stainless-steel fabrication and welding services, including CNC cutting, bending, and finishing, to select industrial and commercial clients in Canada.

Product overview

Burnsco Technologies is a Canadian industrial manufacturer specializing in environmental test chambers and precision fabrication/welding services. Their product portfolio consists of four families of environmental test chambers (Benchtop 5 cu ft, Reach-In 16 cu ft, Large Reach-In 37 cu ft, and Walk-In/Drive-In custom chambers), each available in four variants: temperature-only (RT/RT/RTC), temperature+humidity (RTH/RTH/RTHC), and extended cold range (BTC/RTC). The chambers range from compact 5 cu ft benchtop units (140 liters) to custom-built walk-in rooms, all featuring Watlow F4T programmable controllers. The company's in-house precision welding and sheet-metal fabrication capabilities support chamber manufacturing and serve select industrial and commercial clients.

Products and services

• 5 cu ft Benchtop Environmental Test Chambers (BT-5P, BTH-5P, BTC-5P, BTHC-5P) Compact 5 cu ft (140 liter) benchtop environmental test chambers for component testing and small sample evaluation in laboratory environments. Models include BT-5P (-25°C to 150°C temperature-only), BTH-5P (with 20–95% RH humidity), BTC-5P (cascade refrigeration down to -65°C), and BTHC-5P (combined humidity and extended cold). All variants use Watlow F4T programmable controllers with 2–3°C/min ramp rates.
• 16 cu ft Reach-In Environmental Test Chambers (RT-16P, RTH-16P, RTC-16P, RTHC-16P) Industry-standard 16 cu ft (445 liter) reach-in environmental test chambers for general laboratory testing and multi-sample applications. Models include RT-16P (-25°C to 150°C temperature-only, 750W @ -20°C live load), RTH-16P (with 20–95% RH humidity), RTC-16P (cascade refrigeration down to -40°C), and RTHC-16P (combined humidity and extended cold to -40°C). All variants use Watlow F4T controllers with 2–3°C/min ramp rates.
• 37 cu ft Large Reach-In Environmental Test Chambers (RT-37P, RTH-37P, RTC-37P, RTHC-37P) Large-capacity 37 cu ft (1,030 liter) reach-in environmental test chambers for high-volume samples, assemblies, and complex test configurations. Models include RT-37P (-25°C to 150°C with dual 2,750W air heaters and single-stage 3 Hp refrigeration), RTH-37P (with 20–95% RH humidity), RTC-37P (cascade refrigeration down to -55°C, 600W @ -40°C), and RTHC-37P (combined humidity and extended cold). Highest amp requirements (64/51A) among the 37 cu ft family.
• Walk-In / Drive-In Environmental Test Chambers (WT, WTH, WTC, WTHC) Custom-built walk-in/drive-in environmental test rooms engineered for large products, vehicles, and batch testing applications where standard reach-in chambers are not sufficient. Models include WT (temperature-only, -25°C to +85°C), WTH (with 25–95% RH humidity, ±2°C and ±5% RH tolerances), WTC (cascade refrigeration down to -55°C, air or water cooled), and WTHC (combined humidity and extended cold down to -55°C). All variants feature programmable PID control and are built to customer dimensions.
• Precision Fabrication & Welding Services Contract stainless-steel fabrication and precision welding services including CNC cutting (Trumpf TC500R and TC240R punches), CNC bending (Promecam RG-154 and Masteel 10110 press brakes), shearing (Promecam GHE 1030), and TIG/MIG/Spot welding for industrial and commercial clients. Services span prototypes, custom parts, and production runs with consistent quality and durable, accurate results.
