Customer Service Manager

Who are we?

Ventex Inc., proudly family-owned and operated since 1984, has become Canada's premier louver and damper manufacturer. We operate on our simple philosophy of providing exceptional customer service while supplying top-quality products at a reasonable price. We offer a complete line of extruded aluminum and formed steel louvers, as well as custom architectural louvers. Many are licensed to bear the AMCA seal for both water penetration and air performance. Our Alumavent control dampers feature a premium aluminum insulated damper utilizing a true thermally broken blade. We also offer an extruded aluminum, airfoil blade control damper. Our triple-v blade steel control dampers are specially engineered so that the single-piece frame locks together without bolts, screws, and rivets that can vibrate loose. Our fire dampers are available for both dynamic and static applications with 1-1/2 or 3 Hour ratings, as we continue to expand our range through extensive testing at Underwriters' Laboratories.

Every product is manufactured to exact specifications, executing strict quality control procedures from start to finish

We are looking for motivated individuals who have hands on manufacturing experience working with tools, machinery and thrive in a busy environment. Come join our family and growing team!
