Mitrex launches operations of new factory in Canada marking world's largest building with its patented BIPV system
Leading Canadian solar factory will ramp up production of state-of-the-art technology in North America
TORONTO, July 6, 2021 /CNW/ - Mitrex, GTA-based solar technology manufacturer of building-integrated photovoltaic technology (BIPV), has officially launched operations of its new production factory in Toronto, Ontario. Now fully operational, the new facility will be the largest building in the world to date incorporating Mitrex's patented solar solution, including solar cladding, windows and railings. The facility, which will also act as the company's head office, will allow Mitrex to localize its production in the Canadian market while ramping up product offerings into other markets including the United States of America.
The new manufacturing facility, comprised of a uniquely designed 3D outer wall of the company's cladding technology, will span an area of over 100,000 square feet and will have a fully automated production line. This will allow for a more effective production system to produce Mitrex's innovative solar offerings at competitive prices for clients within the North American market and beyond.
"As the climate crisis continues to deepen, we need to rethink how we invest in integrated solar technology that is cost-effective, malleable and efficient," says Mitrex CEO Danial Hadizadeh. "With the opening of the new factory, it will allow us to create construction materials that meet the architectural demands of our clients while creating a blueprint for future Mitrex factories across the world."
The first-of-its-kind facility will help Mitrex cement itself as a major player in the North American and global markets, with its R&D efforts, manufacturing capabilities, and new supply chain capacity. This factory structure will then be used in future facilities throughout Canada, the US, and then the world.
"The new factory equipped with our robust production line will allow Mitrex to produce 25,000 square feet of solar integrated panels such as solar cladding and solar glass for windows and railing per day," says Hadizadeh. "We firmly believe that we can turn any surface the sun touches into an energy source with our products without compromising beauty and aesthetics. Our malleable technology is the future of solar infrastructure and will be critical in supporting efforts in curbing carbon emissions."
Providing a range of self-sufficient power systems for architects, developers and building owners Mitrex offers affordable variety through its solar cladding, railing, glass, and roofs. The new factory will allow for 100 per cent of Mitrex products to be made in Canada.
