SOFAME enables its clients to reduce greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) and save money through higher efficiencies achieved by inovative boiler solutions. They also decrease maintenance and services costs as their technology requires little or no servicing. Since SOFAME’S products are atmospheric (non-pressurized) units, construction costs are lower thereby also reducing insurance and liabilities fees.

Sofame was founded in 1984 by Luc Mandeville and Michel Dallaire. Its first product was the Launrec RBT, a waste water heat recovery system, designed for laundries and dyers.

In 1994, the Company obtained its patent for the Hybrid Percotherm and stood out as the world's first manufacturer of a technology producing energy by direct contact in addition to recovering heat from thermal effluents.

Sofame further developed markets for heated industrial process water and hot water heating for institutional and multiple-unit rental buildings. The year 1997 marked a turning point for Sofame as it was listed on the Toronto Exchange under the symbol SDW.  That year, Sofame also obtained a patent for its Ultra-High Efficiency water heater, of which it is still the world'S only authorized manufacturer. In 1999, Sofame achieved a breakthrough in the European market. Its first major contract was the installation of a Percotherm on the site of the Gaz de France Montoire de Bretagne LNG terminal. During that year, it also received one of its numerous awards(20 over the years), from the prestigious American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE).

In 2004, ASHRAE again recognized SOFAME's outstanding technology development efforts by honoring SOFAME with a second award for technology innovation. In the last 20 years,  500 SOFAME units have been installed. Some of the current installations include application in the pulp and paper industry, the dying and textiles industry, food processing facilities, hospitals, universities and district heating. To this day, SOFAME holds 5 Canadian patents and 4 American patents . It has a sole proprietary positionfor two of these technologies.
