What Rosemex does

Rosemex (legal entity Groupe Rosemex / Mecar Métal Inc.) is a Canadian manufacturer of hydronic heating and ventilation equipment founded in 1969 and headquartered at 1560 Marie-Victorin Street, Saint-Bruno-de-Montarville, Quebec. The company designs, manufactures, and sells terminal heating units (baseboard heaters, convectors, wall fin units, cabinet heaters, unit heaters, radiant panels), ventilation equipment (fan coil units, coils of types S/NFS/WC/WH/WBH, face-and-bypass dampers, induction units, central air handlers, valves, cooling towers), and custom architectural enclosures that house HVAC equipment in finished building interiors. A dedicated R&D division develops energy-recovery and zero-carbon products, including electronically controlled ECM motors and a recently introduced CO2 heat pump line.

Rosemex's technology base is built around heat exchange, hydronic distribution, and custom metal fabrication, with laboratory-tested products and integrations such as ECM motors for precise HVAC control. The company holds AHRI performance certification and Canadian Welding Bureau (CWB) accreditation, and is a member of the Canada Green Building Council (CaGBC). Customer mix is overwhelmingly commercial, industrial, and institutional — examples include Parliament and Annex Ottawa, Place Bonaventure, Air Canada, Westin Hotel Ottawa, and Bose — with marquee specification-grade projects demonstrating presence in government, aviation, hospitality, and corporate real estate.

The business model is project-based, custom-engineered hardware sales to enterprise customers primarily in Canada and the United States, with selective international project work. Pricing is quote-driven and varies with specifications, customization, and project scope; sales are executed through a direct enterprise field-sales motion supported by in-house engineering, with no public list pricing and no disclosed revenue figures. Distribution flows directly from the Saint-Bruno-de-Montarville facility to project sites, working with engineering firms, contractors, and building owners/operators.
