Foundation of Les Industries Trovac Ltée (ITL)

Les Industries Trovac Ltée (ITL) was founded in 1960 by Mr. Jacques Bruneau, an expert in the field of central vacuum cleaners. His goal was to manufacture and distribute a central vacuum surpassing all those then available on the market.

Launch of the Cyclovac trademark

It is distinguished not only by its unique burgundy color, but also by its high performance and remarkable silence. Cyclovac products conquered the market with their revolutionary design, exceptional performance and great reliability. One triumphant launch follows another, and over the years Cyclovac products have become synonymous with quality and reliability, a fact that is reflected in every appliance and accessory.

Opening of distribution centers in British Columbia and France

Trovac opens its first Cyclovac distribution center in British Columbia, Canada, in partnership with wholesaler Tip Top Parts. Tip Top Parts has been distributing over 7000 vacuum products and parts to our dealer network since 1987. This was soon followed by the opening of an office and distribution center in Treffieux, France (1990) to develop the international market.
