Mitrex

Founded in 2019, Mitrex brings together two well-established products–solar panels and building cladding–and combines them to build something novel. The product, which is called building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV), was launched in 2019 after four years of research and development. Now employing 100 people at its near-fully automated facility in the Toronto suburb of Etobicoke, the company is the world’s largest manufacturer of BIPV.
