Investments in facilities and equipment will power company’s growth over the coming years

HOLLYWOOD, Fla.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#3dprinting–Sintavia, LLC, the world’s first all-digital aerospace component manufacturer, today announced its single largest expansion in facilities and equipment since 2019. The $25 million investment includes additional advanced manufacturing space, large format printers, large format post-processing equipment, and component testing equipment. It is expected that with this investment, Sintavia will be able to meet the demand from the programs it supports across the U.S. Department of Defense for the balance of this decade.

“Looking into the next few years, it is clear to us that we need to make the investments today that will support the demand from our customers tomorrow,” said Brian Neff, Sintavia’s Founder and CEO. “As the world’s first truly all-digital aerospace component supplier, Sintavia is in a unique position to push the boundaries of what is possible in terms of designing and manufacturing next generation aerospace components along a single, fully digital thread. But to do that, you need first to have the right facilities, hardware, and software in place. That is what we are doing today in support of our customers and their critical programs.”

A major focus of the new expansion will be the continued design and development of high-performance thermodynamic components, in particular aerospace heat exchangers. Sintavia’s heat exchangers, which are enabled using additively designed triply periodic minimal surface structures, demonstrate improved heat rejection at comparative flow rates when evaluated against traditional versions. Additionally, the manufacturing sturdiness of a fully digital thread results in production yields close to 100%, multiples higher than manufacturing yields often experienced by traditional heat exchanger manufacturers.

As part of the expansion, Sintavia signed a long-term lease on an additional 25,000 ft² of manufacturing space adjacent to its existing headquarters, which it will use for printing, post-processing, and materials testing. New equipment included in the expansion includes Sintavia’s second SLM NXG XII 600, a third AMCM M4K-4, a second CT Scanner (450 kV), a second large air furnace, cold flow test machine, a shock and vibration table, pressure cycle testing equipment, acoustic testing equipment, multiple additional 5-axis CNC machines, multiple additional fatigue rigs, and multiple additional polishing machines. As it announced last October, Sintavia is also the North American launch customer for the AMCM M8K-K, the world’s largest industrially viable laser powder bed fusion printer, with an impressive cubic displacement of 38 ft³.

The expansion is expected to be completed by the fourth quarter of 2024.

C$880 million acquisition will enhance Saint-Gobain’s position in light and sustainable construction in Canada

MALVERN, Pa.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Saint-Gobain, through its building materials subsidiary CertainTeed Canada, today announced its intent to acquire The Bailey Group of Companies (Bailey), a leading Canadian manufacturer of commercial metal framing and building systems. The complementary addition of Bailey’s existing line of high-quality metal framing products in Canada will broaden Saint-Gobain’s global offering in the category, and further enhance the company’s position as a worldwide leader in light and sustainable construction. As part of the pending acquisition, Saint-Gobain will also complete the purchase of the remaining equity and assets of its decade-long ceiling grid manufacturing joint venture with Bailey, The Grid Company. In addition, when approved, the acquisition will include all divisions of The Bailey Group — Bailey Metal Products, Bailey Metal Processing, and Agway Metals.

With approximately 690 employees working across twelve manufacturing sites throughout Canada, the acquisition of Bailey will reinforce Saint-Gobain’s commitment to growth in the country, adding more than C$500 million in revenues in Canada, where the CertainTeed brand is an established provider of building materials. Along with the recent acquisitions of Kaycan and GCP in 2022, and Building Products of Canada in 2023, this acquisition will strengthen the company’s building materials portfolio and further Saint-Gobain Canada’s vision to offer a comprehensive portfolio of building systems and solutions, both internal and external, to its customers.

“As a strategic partner in The Grid Company joint venture for over a decade, we have first-hand knowledge of the Bailey team’s expertise in producing high quality light construction solutions,” said Mark Rayfield, President and CEO of Saint-Gobain North America. “Their employee-centric culture and unwavering commitment to customers is what makes them an excellent partner for Saint-Gobain, and I look forward to the Bailey team’s continued contributions to fulfilling our global purpose – ‘Making the World a Better Home.”’

“As Saint-Gobain’s growth journey in Canada continues, I can think of no better partner than The Bailey Group of Companies,” said Julie Bonamy, CEO of Saint-Gobain Canada. “With their long-standing expertise in metal framing and building solutions, we will take a significant step forward in our vision to provide a comprehensive portfolio of building materials to our customers.”

“As leaders in metal framing for nearly 75 years, we look forward to continuing our same quality service and support to Canadian customers alongside our long-time partner Saint-Gobain,” said Angelo Sarracini, CEO of the Bailey Group. “Working together, we will enhance the experience for our customers throughout Canada, who will benefit from our combined expertise and portfolio of complete building systems and solutions. We are excited to continue the Bailey story as we start this next chapter.”

“The Bailey Family’s long-standing commitment to our associates and customers is at the heart of everything we do. We pride ourselves in the culture that has been built over the past 74 years,” said Stuart Hunt, President of Bailey Metal Processing. “Saint-Gobain shares many of the core values that the Family holds in high regard. I am looking forward to building upon the 74 years of success with the Saint-Gobain team.”

Today’s announcement follows several other recent growth investments announced by Saint-Gobain in Canada:

• In February, Saint-Gobain completed the installation of a recovery system at its gypsum facility in Vancouver, British Columbia, expected to reduce Scope 1 carbon dioxide emissions by 15%.

• In September, Saint-Gobain completed the $1.325 billion acquisition of Building Products of Canada Corp., reinforcing its leadership in light and sustainable construction in Canada.

• In 2022, Saint-Gobain announced the acquisitions of both Kaycan and GCP, strengthening its leadership positions in siding and construction chemicals respectively in both Canada and the United States.

• In June 2022, Saint-Gobain and CertainTeed Canada announced an investment to upgrade equipment at its gypsum facility outside Montreal, which will increase the plant’s production capacity by up to 40%. The plant will also transition away from fossil fuels to solely being powered by renewable electricity from Hydro-Quebec, making it the first zero-carbon wallboard plant in North America for scopes 1 and 2 emissions. Work on this project is currently underway.

Torontonians are tired of settling for less, demanding better quality and design from developers

TORONTO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Toronto consistently ranks as one the most desired places to live in North America, and with ambitious immigration targets by the Government of Canada, there is an urgent need for sustainable housing, with condos paving the way as the predominant housing choice. However, new research shows that traditional Toronto condos are starved of quality, architecture, livability and design forcing a high demand for improvement across the city.

In a recent survey conducted by Devron with members of the Angus Reid forum, the majority of GTA residents see the potential for condos to be a long-term housing solution, with almost half (47%) of respondents believing condos can be long-term homes, and 40 per cent saying it’s a potential option, depending on the unit or building. This sentiment is echoed strongly by current condo dwellers, with 71 per cent expressing confidence in long-term condo living. However, despite the increase in positive outlook, a staggering 93 per cent of respondents feel that Toronto needs better built condos, and almost four-in-five (79%) believe most Toronto condo units are cheaply made, indicating a dissatisfaction with the current landscape.

“The perception of condo living in Toronto is not ideal, and sadly, people have become used to low standards,” said Pouyan Safapour, President of Devron. “We want to show Torontonians that condos can be beautiful, functional and livable long-term homes that they can take pride in. With each development, including our latest project, 101 Spadina, we strive to challenge this status and change the narrative on condo living in Toronto.”

Design deficit: Torontonians demand architectural appeal

Condo developments that offer unique designs and stand out from the rest are more likely to inspire and capture the imagination of GTA residents. According to the survey, 59 per cent of GTA residents feel that current condo offerings in Toronto are lagging compared with other major Canadian cities in terms of interesting and exciting designs, while the majority (86%) believe that Toronto’s skyline lacks captivating architecture. Additionally, only eight per cent strongly agree that Toronto’s condo buildings exhibit unique designs and personalities, underscoring the growing interest for condo developments that offer architectural appeal, paired with unique and captivating designs. Interestingly, nearly all GTA residents surveyed (96%) said developers have a responsibility to build quality homes that contribute to Toronto’s liveability and infrastructure.

“The survey shows that condos can be a sustainable, long-term living option, and a home for people and families of all ages and life stages. Every building should offer a variety of suite sizes for growing families, not just one-bedrooms for transitory dwellers,” said Safapour. “The quality must go beyond just nice appliances and finishes — it’s often what is behind the walls that affects our life and comfort the most. Suites should be designed with people’s comfort and experience in mind, including features such as noise insulation between suites, quality windows for noise and thermal protection, high performance elevators and pressure sealed doors, leak detection, pot lights for even lighting, large windows and many more details that matter. We take a comprehensive approach to lead the charge towards a future where high living standards are the new norm in condos, and condos can become synonymous with the word ‘home’.”

Devron has embraced this commitment in the design of 101 Spadina — a 39-storey residential community meticulously crafted to meet the evolving needs and lifestyles of Torontonians seeking enduring, livable spaces. 101 Spadina is inspired by the art deco style and history of the neighbourhood and fuses modern and classic architecture to challenge Toronto’s glass buildings. The use of masonry construction, a rarity in contemporary glass high-rises, distinguishes the building from most downtown condos. The development will also feature a 10,000 square foot public park to help create more green space for the city and redefine downtown living.

“Toronto needs more buildings that will contribute to the city’s livability and make people want to stay and lay roots in the city. We aim to do just that with 101 Spadina,” said Safapour. “We hope our community will become the standard in downtown Toronto living, not the exception.”

Condo purchasing considerations

As single-family homes remain out of reach for many, an increasing number of GTA residents are turning their attention towards condominiums as they contemplate their housing options. This surge in interest is driven by a variety of factors that make condo living particularly appealing, with the top consideration being respondents valuing reduced maintenance and less responsibility (33%) that come with condo living. In addition, 20 per cent want to live close to downtown Toronto, for convenient access to life’s essentials such as restaurants, childcare facilities, schools and medical services.

The appeal of condo living continues to rise, offering a compelling, sustainable alternative to traditional single-family homes. Designed to meet the diverse needs of Torontonians, Devron’s 101 Spadina project strives to set a new bar for condo living and positively impact the city.

With a variety of suite sizes and layouts for people and families, 101 Spadina offers personalized options for everyone. Positioned to challenge traditional perceptions of condo living, it provides residents with a range of amenities and services to enhance their quality of life.

About the survey

These are the findings of a survey conducted by Devron from March 5 to March 12, 2024 among a sample of 510 GTA residents (ages 18+ yrs.) who are members of the Angus Reid Forum. For comparison purposes only, a probability sample of this size would carry a margin of error of +/-4.3 percentage points, 19 times out of 20.

TORONTO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–$KNR #esg–Kontrol Technologies Corp. (Cboe CA:KNR) (OTCQB:KNRLF) (FSE:1K8) ( “Kontrol” or the “Company”) a leader in smart buildings and cities through IoT, Cloud and SaaS technology is pleased to announce that it has entered into an amended credit agreement with its secured lender and exited forbearance.

“A key objective for the Company in 2023 was to strengthen the balance sheet and we have accomplished that by focusing efforts to reduce debt and corresponding interest expense,” says Paul Ghezzi, CEO of Kontrol Technologies. “Our successful de-leveraging has well positioned the Company to execute on strategic initiatives to continue to grow the business.”

The Company entered into an amended credit agreement and exited from forbearance, thereby returning to regular commercial borrowing. Under the terms of the credit agreement, interest is payable at Bank Prime rate plus a margin (between 1.25% and 2.0% based on the Company’s ratio of secured debt to earnings before interest taxes and depreciation) with principal repayments amortized over five years.

The Company started 2023 with approximately $15 million of secured debt and by the end of Q1, 2024 anticipates a secured debt balance of approximately $3.7 million. For 2024 financial reporting, as a result of exiting forbearance, the Company will classify principal obligations on the secured debt which are beyond 12 months as long-term debt on its balance sheet.

Kontrol Technologies Corp.

Kontrol Technologies Corp., a Canadian public company, is a leader in smart buildings and cities through IoT, Cloud and SaaS technology. Kontrol provides solutions and services to its customers to improve energy management, monitor continuous emissions and accelerate the sustainability of all buildings.
