Rodrigue Métal

What Rodrigue Métal does

Rodrigue Métal is a privately held Quebec-based industrial equipment manufacturer founded in 1964, operating from a single manufacturing facility in the Saint-Romuald borough of Lévis. The company designs, fabricates, and installs custom industrial dust collection systems, air filtration solutions, pneumatic conveying equipment, quick diverter valves (VDR), storage silos, centrifugal fans, standardized ducting, and other welded metal assemblies for North American industrial customers. Its product portfolio comprises five proprietary dust collector models (Cyclofiltre, Décofiltre, Cartfiltre, Sécofiltre, and Portatif) and eight categories of supporting industrial components, all manufactured under CWB W47.1 and W47.2 certified welding processes and designed using SolidWorks and AutoCAD 3D modeling. The firm also runs a build-to-print custom fabrication division for galvanized steel structures, reporting more than 30 years of partnership with international clients.

The company targets industrial verticals requiring dust capture, worker safety, fire/explosion prevention, and environmental compliance, including sawmills and lumber, doors and windows manufacturing, furniture and engineered wood flooring, pellets and biomass, pulp and paper, cement, asphalt, flour mills, foundries, recycling, and electrical distribution infrastructure. Its revenue model is project-based and quote-driven, with custom-engineered dust collection systems and build-to-print fabrication as the principal revenue streams, complemented by spare parts and engineering consulting services. Go-to-market is direct sales-led, with sales representatives and project managers conducting on-site technical consultations and engineered proposals. As a member of the Canerector group, a North American conglomerate of more than 60 manufacturing companies in Canada and the United States, Rodrigue Métal combines the flexibility of an SME with continental-scale project capability.

The company's value proposition rests on custom-engineered design, integrated turnkey delivery (concept through installation and preventive maintenance), regulatory compliance with NFPA, CSA, and OSHA standards, energy-efficient airflow optimization, and clean energy recovery features. It markets primarily through its trilingual website, technical articles, industry trade presence, and direct engineering consultation, reaching manufacturing decision-makers across the forestry, heavy industrial, and general manufacturing segments.

Core offering

Rodrigue Métal designs, manufactures, and installs custom industrial dust collection systems, air filtration equipment, and pneumatic conveying components for North American industrial customers. The company also produces industrial components (ducting, valves, fans, cyclones, silos, hammer mills) and offers build-to-print custom metal fabrication services for galvanized steel structures. All offerings are delivered as turnkey projects spanning engineering, 3D design, certified welding manufacturing, and on-site installation.

Product overview

Rodrigue Métal offers an integrated portfolio of industrial dust collection systems and components designed, manufactured, and installed for North American industries. The core product line consists of five dust collector models (Cyclofiltre, Décofiltre, Cartfiltre, Sécofiltre, and Portatif), each addressing different particle types and airflow requirements. Supporting these systems are eight industrial component categories including standardized ducting, quick diverter valves (VDR), hammer mills, cyclones/multicyclones, rotary valves, electrical grid components, storage silos, and centrifugal fans—each serving as essential mechanical elements for dust collection and pneumatic conveying systems. Additionally, the company provides build-to-print custom fabrication services for galvanized steel structures. All offerings are unified through an integrated approach combining engineering, 3D design using AutoCAD and SolidWorks, manufacturing, and installation services from concept to final commissioning.
