What Mequipco does
Mequipco Ltd. is a privately held Canadian manufacturer's representative, equipment supplier, and systems integrator headquartered in Calgary, Alberta, with additional offices in Winnipeg, Manitoba and Delta (Vancouver), British Columbia. Founded in 1974, the firm has operated for more than 50 years serving consultants, contractors, and end users in the industrial, municipal, and resource sectors across Western Canada — including British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, the Yukon and Northwest Territories, and Northern Ontario. Its core function is brokering and integrating mechanical equipment for all phases of water and wastewater treatment projects, rather than manufacturing equipment itself.
The company's product surface is built on representation agreements with over 45 industry-leading manufacturers, giving it a portfolio that spans filtration, membrane bioreactors (Veolia), disinfection and ozone (Xylem Leopold), blowers and turbo compressors (Aerzen, Howden/Turblex), biological treatment (Ovivo, Nexom, Nuvoda, Organica), chemical feed (Cleanwater1, TOMCO2, Chemco Systems), separation and dewatering (Andritz, Schwing Bioset, JWC Environmental), pumps and valves (Valmet), odor control (Evoqua RJ Environmental), and nutrient recovery (Ostara, IXOM). Supporting that portfolio, Mequipco runs a dedicated parts and service hotline (1-800-663-9035) for the installed base and provides project management for custom chemical feed dosing packages and special projects.
Mequipco generates revenue through three primary streams: one-time equipment sales and supply on a quote-based model across all three offices, professional services revenue from systems integration of multi-manufacturer solutions, and recurring parts and service support on installed equipment. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and the firm uses a sales-led, relationship-driven go-to-market motion targeting consulting engineers, contractors, and end users in municipal water/wastewater utilities, industrial facilities, and resource-sector operations. The company is independently owned by its managing partners, with no disclosed external investors, funding rounds, or parent entities.
