Water park design and installation company serving 50+ countries
Vortex designs and installs aquatic attractions for parks, resorts, and urban spaces across five continents. The company's tech stack—SolidWorks, AutoCAD, 3ds Max, Unreal Engine, Mazak CNC—reflects a hardware-heavy operation that spans from CAD design through manufacturing and on-site installation. Engineering and sales hiring run equal (6 roles each), with design (3) and manufacturing (2) support, signaling a balanced product-to-market pipeline. Internal friction points around CRM data quality and production deadlines suggest scaling pain in execution as installations grow.
Founded in 1995, Vortex operates as a global aquatic design and construction firm headquartered in Pointe-Claire, Quebec. The company has deployed over 10,000 installations across 50 countries and five continents, spanning water parks, splash pads, playable fountains, and zero-depth aquatic play structures. Revenue comes from custom design, equipment manufacturing (Mazak CNC), on-site installation, and post-sale customer training and certification. The firm employs 201–500 people and maintains active hiring in North America and Europe.
Vortex uses SolidWorks, AutoCAD, 3ds Max, and V-Ray for aquatic structure design and visualization. Unreal Engine is also in their stack, likely for immersive proposal rendering.
Vortex has 10,000+ installations in 50 countries across five continents. Current hiring expansion includes Spain, the United States, and the Netherlands.
