Kelso Technologies Inc. KIQSF

Company Overview

Kelso Technologies Inc. is a specialized engineering and manufacturing company focused on safety and performance equipment for the rail transportation and hazardous materials logistics industries. The company designs, develops, and supplies proprietary devices intended to improve the safety, reliability, and regulatory compliance of rail tank cars used to transport hazardous and non-hazardous liquids. Its products are primarily integrated into new tank cars or retrofitted onto existing fleets.

The company’s core revenue drivers are safety valves, pressure relief devices, and related tank car components that address risks such as over-pressurization, derailments, and thermal events. Kelso’s strategic positioning centers on patented technologies that meet or exceed evolving North American rail safety standards, providing differentiation in a niche but highly regulated market. Founded in 1987, the company has evolved from a diversified technology developer into a focused rail safety equipment provider, particularly following heightened regulatory scrutiny of crude oil and chemical rail transport in the 2010s.
