The strength of 25 years of experience in ventilation system remediation
A seasoned expert in ventilation system remediation, Martin Garon has dedicated a large part of his career to growing Air Innovation, the successful company acquired by Roy. in 2021.
The union between Air Innovation and Roy. didn't actually begin in 2021, far from it. The two companies had already been collaborating for several years on various contracts, with Roy. as the commercial cleaning expert and Air Innovation as a partner and ally in ventilation system cleaning.
"I've always seen Roy. as an organization with wonderful family values, where employees feel good and valued. It was very important to me to bring Air Innovation together with a company that takes care of its people and is a leader in its industry."
Reaching the next level alongside Roy.
By becoming Roy. Air Innovation, the company founded by Martin was propelled to a higher level, both in terms of available resources and in terms of the talent and skills pool within the company.
"Beyond having an excellent reputation, Roy. is a very well-run brand. The level of mutual support and collaboration is a huge asset at Roy. We have access to a wide range of resources, services and talent to help grow the subsidiary."
When ventilation goes hand in hand with health and well-being
Maintaining a ventilation system and keeping it clean and healthy can help contribute to the well-being and health of the people using a building.
"It's simple: good air quality and circulation give building occupants a comfortable environment. Excess dust, mould and the presence of bacteria are examples of contaminants invisible to the eye that can be harmful to people's health and well-being."
Martin recommends inspecting ventilation ducts every 2 to 4 years, depending on the type of building. At every visit, Roy. Air Innovation's expert technicians make sure no harmful elements are circulating in a building's air.
With frequent inspections, building managers ensure a healthy and safe environment for all occupants, every single day.
The Roy. difference
The subsidiary's goal is clear: to offer flawless, memorable ventilation system inspection and cleaning services that don't disrupt clients' regular activities in any way.
This is possible thanks to the attention paid to clients' needs and their particular situations.
"We're aware that every building comes with its own set of particularities, and we're always ready to accommodate our clients' situations as much as possible. Whether it's about work schedules, taking extra measures to avoid contaminating a space, or using specialized equipment to suit an environment. Our service delivery is 100% personalized."
State-of-the-art equipment
Roy. Air Innovation only uses the best equipment currently available on the market.
"We're proud to use the best robot, recognized worldwide, to carry out ventilation system cleaning contracts. The equipment used by our technicians is also designed and manufactured in Quebec."
Specialized and certified technicians
The strength of the Roy. Air Innovation division relies on recruiting exceptional, meticulous people to join the team. For Martin, the conditions offered to employees are a major incentive that allows them to recruit and retain the best talent.
"Our employees join with exceptional working conditions, and that's one of the factors that helps our talent stay longer and grow within the division. We build the subsidiary around our talent, and the structure allows us to offer our technicians some wonderful advancement opportunities."
Technician expertise as a mark of quality for clients
Every employee who joins the team takes part in the Workplace Apprenticeship Program (PAMT). Paired with a mentor within their work team, new hires learn the secrets of the trade and earn their certification at the end of the program.
"It's an exceptional mark of quality for all our clients. Certification also allows technicians to be recognized in the field and to have proof of competence that will follow them throughout their career."
What makes him proud to work at Roy.
"I'm proud to work within a company that builds strong business relationships with its clients so they last over the long term. What's more, the company's reputation speaks for itself. Roy. is a market leader, and the brand is spotless!"
