What We Do
At Virta, we provide custom solutions for bulk material handling projects through fit-for-purpose equipment design and engineering. We execute projects around the world through our established supply chain and fabrication network.
Material handling systems are the backbone of many process industries. Essentially an amalgamation of components, it’s the overall integration and optimization that ultimately determines the system's performance and success. Virta is a lean systems design and delivery group, with technical depth and the benefit of global reach through our affiliate offices. Our agile approach is what the market has demanded for years.
As a complete systems integrator, we offer exceptional, world-class system solutions to meet clients' specific equipment requirements. We partner strategically with specialty equipment and component suppliers to deliver innovative and complete fit-for-purpose systems. Every project is custom designed and built with a solution optimized for safety, cost-effectiveness, reliability and availability.
Our innovation extends from technical solutions through to operational execution. At every stage, we employ unique strategies to optimize delivery schedules, modularization objectives, minimize shutdown time and meet other critical project objectives. Our engineering capabilities are expansive and highly specialized with local experts in our affiliate offices in Vancouver, Santiago and Perth. In addition, our global network allows us to offer commercial, logistics and legal expertise for all phases of project execution in a wide-range of regions around the world.
