Montreal, QC, December 2, 2016 – We are proud to announce that Zev Kopel, Neptronic’s president and founding member received the Builder Award at the 2016 Industry Recognition Gala organized by the CETAF, Quebec’s provincial HVAC association. The event took place at Le Mirage Golf Club in Terrebonne, on November 18. Mr. Kopel received this award due to his numerous accomplishments throughout his extensive career. Zev's taste for innovation has led to the development of a complete line of humidifiers featuring technologies developed and patented by Neptronic which earned him industry recognition through multiple awards attributed by, among others, AHR exhibitions in the United States, and MCEE in Canada.

“His impact on the industry is undeniable, and today he receives this well-deserved recognition for all those years of dedication that lay the foundation for a future full of potential for Neptronic and the entire HVAC industry.” says Biagio Di Lorenzo, Neptronic’s CFO and VP Business Development.

The annual Recognition Gala underlines the exceptional contributions of three CETAF members. Every year, the awards are handed out to pay tribute to these remarkable people.

Quebec’s provincial HVAC association (CETAF) was created in October 1994 when Quebec’s Master Refrigeration Contractors Corporation (CMRQ) and the Quebec Association of Ventilation and Air Conditioning Contractors (AEVCQ) were merged.
