Revenue model

1. Screw Pile Product Sales to Dealers: Postech manufactures galvanized steel helical piles and sells them to certified dealers. Dealers purchase product at wholesale/transfer pricing, install it at project sites, and invoice customers directly. Dealers retain the full margin between product cost and install price — Postech HQ does not take a royalty or percentage of dealer revenue. This is the primary revenue stream for the manufacturer.
2. Dealer Certification and Training: New dealers complete a Postech certification program covering installation technique, soil assessment, load calculations, jobsite safety, and sales. Training fees or program costs support dealer onboarding revenue.
3. Commercial Project Lead Routing: Postech's commercial team routes large-format project inquiries (EV charging stations, solar arrays, municipal infrastructure, multi-unit residential) to certified installers with relevant territory and capacity, facilitating volume product orders from HQ.

Products are sold wholesale to a network of 150+ certified independent dealers across North America and Europe, who install the piles on site and invoice end customers, with a dedicated commercial team handling enterprise and municipal project quotes.

Product overview

Pieux Vistech Inc. (operating as Postech Screw Piles) is North America's leading manufacturer and certified installer network for galvanized steel helical (screw) pile foundations, with headquarters and manufacturing in Sherbrooke, Quebec. The product portfolio centers on seven sizes of engineered screw piles — P178, P238, P278, P278 HD, P312, P412, P512, and P658 — each available with multiple helix configurations and load ratings, plus a full line of extensions, adapters, fixed and adjustable pile caps, brackets, rock anchors, and pole kits. The proprietary Thermal Pile™ adds an internal thermal break for frost-heave protection in cold-climate construction. The portfolio operates as a unified system: the pile shaft (selected by load and soil requirements) connects via adapters to a range of pile caps (fixed or adjustable heads) sized for specific beam dimensions, supported by extensions for deeper embedment and specialty anchors for rock. Every component is CWB-welded, hot-dip galvanized, and backed by a lifetime structural warranty. Installations are delivered exclusively through 150+ certified Postech dealers across North America and Europe.

Direct peers

• Magnum Piering (MAGNUM®): US manufacturer and distributor of helical piles, push piers, and pile accessories serving foundation repair, new construction, and commercial underpinning. Overlaps directly with Postech's P312/P412/P512 product range and commercial/municipal applications.
• Atlas Helical: US-based residential helical pile installer network offering a comparable product-driven, installer-routed business model for decks, sunrooms, and home additions - competing for the same homeowner and contractor segments.
• Earth Contact Products (ECP): US manufacturer and distributor of helical piers, resistance piers, and foundation repair products. Comparable product catalog and target market (foundation contractors, residential, light commercial), typically distributed via dealer network.
• GoliathTech (Pieux GoliathTech): Canadian helical pile manufacturer operating a similar certified-installer dealer network across North America. Directly comparable business model, product category, and customer base (residential decks, sunrooms, commercial projects), making it Postech's closest head-to-head competitor.
• Techno Metal Post (Techno Pieux): Quebec-based helical pile manufacturer with a Quebec/Ontario and US dealer-network footprint. Competitor on both product (galvanized helical piles) and distribution model (certified installer network with exclusive territories).

Broad incumbents

• Foundation Supportworks (Foundation Technologies): US dealer-franchise network specializing in foundation repair products including helical piers. Comparable to Postech on dealer-network GTM and product-adjacent category, but tilted toward repair/retrofit rather than new construction.
• Hubbell / Chance (AB Chance): Legacy US helical pile / anchoring systems brand and broader Hubbell Power Systems portfolio. Competes as an established, well-capitalized incumbent with multi-decade category presence but distributes through traditional construction supply rather than a branded dealer network.

Others

• Kinsley Construction / Independence Excavating (foundation contractors): General foundation and deep foundation contractors that occasionally subcontract helical pile installation. Adjacent to Postech in the broader sitework/foundation ecosystem but not direct competitors in manufactured helical pile products.

Emerging players

• Pin Foundations (MacLean Dixie / Rawlplug): UK-based helical pile manufacturer serving the UK and Ireland markets. Direct product comparable focused on light commercial and residential foundations; useful as a European regional comparison point to Postech's European dealer entries.
• Solargraf Sunlock / TerraSmart (solar ground mount): Solar-focused ground-mount foundation suppliers targeting utility-scale and commercial solar installations. Compete for the same EV/solar/municipal foundation leads Postech's commercial team pursues.
