What Tomahawk Industries Ltd does
Tomahawk Industries Ltd. is a Western Canada-based fire suppression and HVAC services and product company serving heavy mobile equipment operators across resource, transportation, and industrial sectors. Founded in 1998 and headquartered in Spruce Grove, Alberta, the company operates from an Edmonton parts warehouse that supplies HVAC components worldwide and dispatches custom-built mobile service units staffed by licensed heavy-duty mechanics to customer sites across British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and the Northwest Territories. Its core technology is the design, installation, and servicing of fire suppression systems — including custom-built Canadian Compressed Air Foam (CCAF/CAF) systems, pre-engineered vehicle fire suppression kits, and distributed OEM brands such as AFEX, Ansul, Reacton, Amerex, and DAFO — alongside HVAC solutions (Bergstrom, Sigma, Mastercool, TransAir, Omega) covering rooftop AC units, compressors, condensers, expansion valves, driers, fans, hose and fittings, and a dedicated remanufacturing center.
The company's business model combines field service revenue (installation, inspection, repair, and maintenance delivered on-site) with parts and product distribution revenue from a multi-OEM catalog. Pricing is quote-based with no public e-commerce, and go-to-market relies on direct B2B field sales, compliance certifications (COR, ISNetworld, Avetta, ComplyWorks, Intertek, ACSA, CCAB, NAABA, CADSI), and a website that functions as a digital storefront with 'Request a Quote' CTAs. Customer segments span oil and gas, construction, mining, transportation, logging, agriculture, generators, energy, recycling, landfill, and rail. In 2024, Tomahawk was acquired by State Fire, a family-owned commercial and industrial fire protection company headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah; Tomahawk continues to operate under its own name with Les Houle as Owner and President.
