Our History

a close up of a circuit board

For over 25 years, Avnan has partnered with many well known OEM brands to build their state-of-the-art products. Through our engineering expertise and extensive experience in all facets of custom product design and manufacturing of electronic controls, we’ve become a trusted partner helping our customers achieve their product vision.

Avnan started as a family-owned and operated business in 1986 specializing in developing electronic controls for HVAC units and central vaccuums and quickly became one of the leading engineering firms in Canada. The Company expanded its team of engineering experts to fulfill market demands in other growth-oriented industries while steadily expanding our capabilities to meet our clients’ needs.

“Over the past two decades, our growth has been primarily organic and we take pride in cultivating long term customer relationships that have defined our legacy.”

-- Anuj Jain
President and Chief Executive Officer

Our operation was primarily based in Canada but as market competition intensified for our customers, we expanded globally to Asia. Through our new network of facilities overseas, we were able to leverage more cost efficient regions and help our customers achieve a market advantage against their competition

Now, headquartered in Mississauga, Ontario, Avnan has successfully expanded its business from a five-person team to a global workforce comprising of experts in engineering, product design, manufacturing and supply chain management.

“At Avnan, we prioritize innovation and excellence in everything we do. Our team is dedicated to delivering outstanding results and committed to exceeding our customers’ expectations.”

-- Allan Read
Chief Operations Officer
