Southport Thermal Components Inc.

What Southport Thermal Components Inc. does

Southport Thermal Components Inc. is a privately held Canadian custom thermal components manufacturer and waterjet cutting service provider headquartered in Stoney Creek, Ontario. Founded in its current form in 2007 and operating from a 28,000 square foot facility purchased in May 2011, the company specializes in precision cutting and fabrication of high-temperature board materials — including calcium silicate products (Marinite I, P, A, and CS85), Portland cement-based Transite HT, and glass polyester Glastherm — for use in fire doors, furnace and oven insulation, molten metal handling, transformer components, and other industrial applications reaching temperatures up to 1650°C.

The company's technical platform centers on multiple high-pressure abrasive waterjet cutting systems, including two 125HP intensifiers operating at 90,000 psi, straight water flatstock cutting systems, and 6-axis 3D abrasive jet-cutting systems. It maintains a strategic affiliation with I-Cubed Industry Innovators Inc. for automation solutions, custom robotic machinery, and applications software support that underpins its 3D cutting capabilities. Southport sources raw materials from three specialty refractory and composites suppliers — BNZ Materials, Röchling Glastic Composites, and ZIRCAR Refractory Composites — giving it access to a broad range of insulation and refractory products, and it offers to cut customer-supplied materials in addition to in-stock products.

Commercially, Southport operates a direct sales model targeting industrial customers in food processing, aluminum, gold processing, petrochemical, electrical, steel, glass, ceramics, and fire protection sectors. Revenue is generated through custom cutting services and product sales of thermal insulation boards via a quote-based engagement model. The company markets primarily through organic social channels (Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, TikTok) and direct phone/email contact, with no disclosed revenue figures, external funding, or institutional ownership evidenced in available sources.
