About Us

Echoflex was incorporated in 2005 by founders Brian Aikens and Shawn Pedersen. Echoflex became one of the first companies in North America to begin developing products based on a revolutionary new wireless technology from Europe called EnOcean. EnOcean is a unique technology; integrating innovations in harvesting and storing energy with low-power radio technologies. Combining the advances in these technologies into a single radio platform created a platform for the world’s first truly sustainable control solutions.

Building upon this platform, Echoflex is leading the way in North America, developing innovative yet sustainable solutions to solve control problems, improve the facilities environment and save energy.

Culture

Echoflex was founded on an enduring connection to the land and the community where we are based.  A small coastal community on Canada's West Coast, Squamish is nestled at the north end of Howe Sound where the Pacific Ocean meets the coastal mountains.  as the "Outdoor Recreation Capital of Canada" Squamish is a mecca for outdoor culture and recreation.  Our surroundings inspire us and remind us daily how important our natural resources are.

It is our green philosophy and our innovative engineering solutions to harvest energy that have become the core values of our company.

Partnerships

Echoflex Solutions strives to work with like-minded partners to seek innovative solutions, to promote operational sustainability, to inspire technological engineering advances and to be a North American leader in energy harvesting and conservation.

In 2009, Masco Corporation made a strategic investment with EchoFlex Solutions providing the infrastructure and resources to insure Echoflex’s continuing leadership in EnOcean technology development.

A subsidiary company of Masco, Verve Living Systems, has become a sister company to Echoflex, sharing technology and assets to strengthen both companies. Verve was founded by a small team of Masco executives who recognized the potential EnOcean had for dramatically improving the way consumers live their lives and the way homes are built.

Energy Solutions

Echoflex develops automation solutions with energy conservation as a primary focus. To save energy, power that is being consumed today must be turned off when it is not needed. To achieve this goal efficiently and eliminate human intervention, automation must take a role in the process. The automation solutions that Echoflex develops are based on a distributed control model. Through distributing the control elements room by room or circuit by circuit, the density of the control mesh created increases making it more efficient in its goal and improving energy savings.
