About MICA Controls

MICA Controls was founded with a clear vision: to build a company where we could take full responsibility for our culture, our direction, and—most importantly—the outcomes we deliver to our customers. After years of experience within larger organizations, our founders recognized the limitations that rigid structures placed on doing what was truly best for clients. They set out to create a company with the flexibility to adapt, to pivot when needed, and to meet customers where they are—delivering practical, effective results without compromise. At the core of MICA is a deep commitment to our work and the systems we help build, driven by pride in what we deliver and respect for the industries we serve.

In our early years, MICA focused on delivering strong technical outcomes using the products we represented, supported by extensive real-world implementation experience. Our team’s background spans complex petrochemical facilities through to smaller well sites and lift stations, bringing a level of practical expertise that quickly set us apart. Through exclusive partnerships with leading manufacturers such as Beijer Electronics, Dynamic Flow Computers, and HIMA (with exclusivity in Western Canada), customers began turning to MICA not only for products, but for trusted guidance—particularly in specialized areas such as HIPPS and BMS.

As we grew, so did the demand for our engineering insight in functional safety and system design. In 2018, MICA worked alongside a team of industry experts in the development of Annex I for the updated functional safety code, helping to establish a standardized, performance-based approach. This forward-thinking framework was implemented by MICA Controls in our 2019 projects, ahead of the code’s full adoption in 2020—reflecting our commitment to staying at the forefront of industry standards and best practices.

While MICA Controls began as a product-focused representative, our approach has evolved to prioritize delivering the best possible outcome for each customer. Today, we operate with a brand-neutral philosophy, selecting technologies and designing systems based solely on what will perform best for the application. This ensures every project is aligned with our customers’ operational needs, rather than constrained by predetermined product choices.

Our evolution has also expanded our reach beyond upstream oil and gas and petrochemical markets. With the opening of our Victoria office in 2015, MICA broadened into municipal SCADA, water and wastewater, energy, rail, and defense sectors—continuing to grow alongside our customers while remaining grounded in our commitment to flexibility, expertise, and delivering meaningful value.

In 2022, MICA Controls took the next step in its evolution by separating its engineering and product divisions to better serve customers with focused expertise. Today, MICA Controls is dedicated to delivering engineering projects and system-level outcomes, while MICA Technologies specializes in industrial automation, control, networking, and combustion products—supported by engineering expertise to maintain its integrity as a solutions-driven supplier.
