What Cliplight does

Cliplight is a Canadian manufacturer of automotive service and HVACR products, founded in 1974 and headquartered in Pickering, Ontario. The company operates through two divisions: an Automotive division offering LED work lights (Hemi Series, Traditional Series, Compact Series including the PIVOT 33), HVACR leak sealants and additives (Super Seal Premium, Ultra, Total), UV and electronic leak detection equipment, air purification products, oils and UV dyes, and shop and A/C service tools; and a Battery Chargers division offering 12V, 24V, 36V, and 48V chargers plus customized OEM battery management solutions. Cliplight's underlying technology centers on proprietary LED lighting platforms, leak sealing chemistry, and configurable battery charging hardware, supported by a documented 2014 patent portfolio.

Since May 2016, Cliplight has operated as a division of Alltemp Products, itself a subsidiary of DiversiTech, an HVACR industry distributor. The company's go-to-market relies on a global distributor network covering Latin America, Europe & Middle East, Africa, Asia, and Oceania, complemented by dedicated sales representative offices serving the automotive markets of Canada and the United States. Revenue mechanics are hardware sales through these channel partners, with pricing conducted on a quote basis via [email protected] rather than publicly disclosed list pricing. Primary customer segments are professional automotive service providers, mechanics, garage operators, and HVACR technicians, with a secondary OEM segment for customized battery charging solutions.
