Groupe BFL

Groupe BFL is a Canadian manufacturing firm specializing in high-efficiency heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems for commercial and industrial clients. Founded in 1946, the company has over 75 years of experience and operates through its main subsidiaries, Bousquet Technologies and Nagas Innovation. François Martin led the family business for 40 years before its acquisition. In May 2024, W Investments Group, in partnership with Desjardins Capital, acquired Groupe BFL, although the existing management team, including President and CEO Michel-André Lamarche, remains in place to support growth objectives across North America.

The company's business model is centered on designing and manufacturing robust, custom-tailored HVAC solutions that meet high standards for energy efficiency, air quality, and noise reduction. They serve institutional, commercial, and industrial sectors by providing equipment designed for specific client needs. A key product is the 'Superblock' technology, which offers up to 95% sensible heat recovery. The Nagas Innovation subsidiary focuses on eliminating the environmental footprint of ventilation devices and aims to become a major integrator of reverse flow energy recuperators in North America. Revenue is generated through the sale of these custom-manufactured systems and turnkey products.
