Why Kimco Prioritizes Canadian-Made Systems
Kimco is proud to be a Western Canadian-owned and operated company based in Kelowna, with offices in Penticton and Cranbrook. As a building automation, electrical, and HVAC contractor, we know clients depend on reliable systems that deliver long-term value.

Delta and Greystone are just two examples. Kimco regularly partners with a wide range of Canadian suppliers who share our values of quality, accountability, and innovation.

Kimco upgraded the building automation system at Kamloops Seniors Village, replacing outdated controls with Delta technology to improve reliability, efficiency, and resident comfort.
Project Spotlight: Kamloops Seniors Village
At Kamloops Seniors Village, Kimco was engaged to take over a competitor's building automation system that was not locally manufactured in Canada. We transitioned the Seniors Village to Delta Controls, sourcing as much equipment as possible through local suppliers in Kamloops.
This project reinforced Kimco's reputation as a dependable contractor in Kamloops. Despite the logistical challenges of working in a fully occupied senior living facility, our team completed the upgrade without disruption to residents and without delay. The result was a reliable, locally supported solution that will serve the client for years.
Looking Ahead
Kimco remains committed to strengthening and expanding our community-first partnerships. By continuing to prioritize Canadian-made building automation systems, we ensure that our projects deliver world-class results while creating direct economic benefits for the communities we serve.
As one of Western Canada's most trusted commercial automation contractors, we will continue aligning our success with local partners' success, driving Canadian innovation forward.
