Slimline

What Slimline does

Slimline Manufacturing is a privately held Canadian industrial equipment manufacturer headquartered in Penticton, British Columbia, operating two distinct product lines: Turbo-Mist agricultural airblast sprayers and EcoMister industrial evaporators. Founded in 1950 as The Okanagan Sprayer Company, the company has built a 70-year track record in agricultural spray equipment and over 25 years in industrial evaporation applications. The Turbo-Mist product line leverages patented turbine-based airblast technology with precision-machined fan blades at 50-thousandth-inch clearances, front air intake designs, and "Gear Up Throttle Down" operating economics that reportedly reduce fuel consumption by up to 40% and chemical use by 30%. The EcoMister line comprises portable industrial evaporators deployed across 600+ worldwide installations to manage tailings ponds, leachate ponds, stormwater, and cooling water for mining, municipal solid waste, power generation, and food processing customers.

The company operates a hybrid go-to-market model combining direct enterprise sales with a North American dealer network spanning the United States and Canada. Named sales contacts are dedicated to each product line, with engineering and custom-solution work handled internally. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; equipment is sold as configured capital expenditure items with an aftermarket OEM Parts Division providing 2-day delivery across North America. Customer evidence includes enterprise deployments at Barrick Gold's Mascot/Nickleplate Mine, Applied LNG's Topock facility, and the Crowsnest/Pincher Creek Landfill Association in Alberta, alongside a long tail of North American agricultural customers growing orchards, vineyards, hops, and nuts.

Slimline is led by President Daryll Lowry, with a management team including Director of Engineering Ravneet Singh and dedicated division managers. The company has no disclosed external funding, no public listing, and no M&A history; cap table and detailed financials are not publicly available. Revenue is generated primarily through one-time hardware sales of Turbo-Mist sprayers and EcoMister evaporators, supplemented by aftermarket parts and service revenue. Product development extensions include de-icing technology for municipal road applications, indicating ongoing portfolio diversification within adjacent industrial niches.
