About Us

Trusted to innovate, proven to deliver

At Solex, we are more than just a heat exchanger manufacturer. We apply proven thermal science in innovative ways to find better, more efficient solutions to challenges both known and new.

Starting out as a division of Cominco Engineering Services (CESL) in 1989, the company was divided in 1999 to become Bulkflow Technologies. Today, we are known as Solex Thermal Science — and we have been pioneering technology in the science of heating, cooling and drying free flowing bulk solids ever since. Our patented industrial heat exchanger technology produces near-zero emissions, uses 90% less energy and produces a superior end product at a cost savings for our customers.

In 2019, we continued to solidify our expertise in bulk solids heat exchange by joining forces with Netherlands-based Mosman Stainless Steel, a worldwide leader in stainless steel. Made possible through a joint investment by the private equity firm Anders Invest B.V., our combined company provides customers with made-to-order solutions from an integrated producer of bulk solids heat exchange technology that has more than 150 years of combined experience.

We’re also now using that same technology to change the landscape of energy capture, recovery and storage. Announced in 2020, the newly created Solex Energy Science expands the boundaries of what’s possible in ways few could have predicted with innovative heat transfer solutions to applications involving high temperatures or using bulk solids as a heat transfer medium.

Our clients come to us with interesting challenges and rely on us to deliver trustworthy solutions for previously untested applications.

Rooted in science and powered by our people, we thrive on doing exactly that.
