> Elemex® is a North American architectural facade systems manufacturer serving Canada and the United States. Head office and all manufacturing are in London, Ontario, Canada; a U.S. office operates from Wilmington, Delaware. Elemex engineers and manufactures four commercial facade systems — Ceramitex® (sintered ceramic), Solstex® (building-integrated photovoltaic solar), Alumitex® (aluminum plate and aluminum composite material), and Stonitex® (natural granite) — all mounted on Unity®, its proprietary integrated attachment technology, which allows different facade materials to be combined on a single plane. The company also manufactures Enviroclip®, an NFPA 285 compliant composite thermal clip. Elemex serves architects, general contractors, developers, building owners, and certified installers, with completed projects across Ontario and in Washington DC, California, Texas, New York, Virginia, Minnesota, Illinois, Florida, Kansas, Connecticut, Hawaii, and Maryland.
