What Ferblanterie JGL Inc does

Ferblanterie J.G.L. Inc. is a Quebec-based metal fabrication company founded in 1982, specializing in ventilation duct manufacturing and sheet metal transformation. Operating from an approximately 18,000 square foot facility in Terrebonne, Quebec—with a 15,000 square foot workshop and a dedicated 600 square foot painting booth—the company manufactures square and round ventilation ducts in galvanized steel, welded black steel, aluminum, stainless steel, and copper. Core technical capabilities include plasma cutting (up to 5/8 inch thickness on 5' x 10' sheets), numerical bending (up to 1/4 inch), spiral duct fabrication, MIG and TIG welding, and enamel/epoxy painting, with a stated production capacity of approximately 50,000 pounds per week.

The company generates revenue through three primary streams: direct sales of ventilation ducts, custom metal transformation services (plasma cutting, bending, welding) for industrial buyers, and distribution of ventilation and heating accessories, flexible ducts, and installation equipment. Pricing is quote-based across all products and services, with no public price list. The go-to-market motion is sales-led, supported by a company website with downloadable PDF catalog, video presentation, and online quote request forms. The company delivers throughout Quebec and is actively recruiting distributors across Eastern Canada. The company also operates an express service for urgent requests.

Ferblanterie JGL serves five vertical segments—mining, industrial, architectural, residential, and commercial—with mining, industrial, and architectural designated as primary segments. Key use cases include high-capacity ventilation for mining operations, HVAC and dust collection for industrial applications, and custom architectural metalwork (kitchen counters, staircases, mezzanines, decorative panels, copper roof chimneys, curtain walls) for buildings. No public financials, funding history, ownership structure, or management team details are disclosed; the company operates as an independently owned private corporation.
