Your Work at CIMCO Matters 


Work That Matters -CIMCO

 

At CIMCO, you're not just building thermal systems; you’re helping to build a more sustainable future. From ice rinks that form a cornerstone of local communities to district heating systems that power cities, to  industrial thermal systems that help keep food safe and support greenhouse agriculture, every project you touch makes a real impact.

 

Imagine a world without refrigeration. Fresh strawberries would be a distant memory by February, families would bury food underground for preservation, and ice would be such a rare commodity that it traveled by ship from Ontario to California as a luxury item.

 

This was reality before visionaries like Tom Shipley founded the Canadian Ice Machine Company (CIMCO) in 1913, built on the simple yet profound ideal of improving lives through innovation. Since then, CIMCO has been transforming how we live, work, and play.


 

 

Your work here contributes to something far greater than a pay check. When you help develop Thermal Force One systems that reduce reliance on natural gas and harness sustainable energy, you are driving efficiency and supporting net-zero emission goals. You make it possible for remote communities like Guysborough, Nova Scotia, to save money and reinvest in what matters most - their people and their community. When you install heat pumps that warm 12,000 homes in Edmonton, you’re helping build sustainable communities. And when you create Ice Batteries that recover and reuse energy, you’re fighting climate change, one innovation at a time.

 

 

We're not just continuing our founder Tom Shipley's vision of improving lives; we're evolving it for a world that desperately needs sustainable solutions. As the population grows, food demand increases, and global warming changes environments around the world, harnessing and optimizing thermal energy will be key in our next evolution.

 

Your career at CIMCO isn't just about what you'll build; it's about the world you'll help create.
