These innovations have culminated in an award-winning refrigerant gas monitor that utilises a double sensor, infrared technology that redefines the industry’s standards.

Since its strategic alliance with BW Technologies in 2002, Vulcain has benefited by gaining further access to a even wider range of gas detection markets. Additionally, it opened the opportunity for Vulcain to relocate its head office and manufacturing division into a custom-built facility with modernized production equipment in Brossard, (Qc.) Canada, boosting efficiency and production performance. Quality-assurance, sales and management were also improved with automated applications and the implementation of computer-assisted, manufacturing management software (ERP/MRP). The facility’s infrastructure layout has taken into account Vulcain’s present magnitude and growth objectives for the years to come.

Staying true to Clément’s original vision of protecting both the environment and the people that live within it, these operational advancements continue to bolster Vulcain’s abilities to redefine the HVAC, industrial and commercial gas detection markets and develop new life-saving technologies.
