Buoyed by rising sales to its industrial and government customers, Ottawa cleantech firm BluMetric’s revenues jumped nearly 25 per cent in the third quarter compared with the same period in 2020.
BluMetric (TSX-V: BLM), which specializes in water and wastewater treatment, reported revenues of $8.5 million for the three-month period ending June 30, up from $6.9 million a year earlier. The company posted a profit of $687,000 compared with $673,000 in 2020.
The company said revenues in its commercial and industrial and government segments rose year-over-year, thanks largely to the delivery of COVID-19-related services and new projects coming online.

The company said it plans to invest in expanding its reach in the industrial and mining markets noting that demand for services in those sectors is expected to rise “as the economy transitions out of a pandemic state.”
