Our Expertise
A Partnership Worth Celebrating: Local Leadership, Tersus Standards
We're thrilled to announce that our Calgary facility will be partnering with Spirit West. Since 1986, Spirit West has been Calgary's original source for technical repairs, custom apparel, and adventure gear, serving the Rocky Mountain region for nearly four decades.
Sharing space with a partner and leveraging their history and repair expertise is the kind of collaboration that makes a circular operation work. While Tersus handles CO₂ cleaning, grading, and recommerce at scale, Spirit West will bring their deep technical repair capability to ensure that every item that needs a repair will be completely restored before it goes back into circulation.
"I'm proud to bring Spirit West and Tersus Solutions together under one roof, and to lead the teams as we bring Tersus's recommerce capabilities to Canada. This facility is built to deliver the same standard our partners expect, with the speed and care that comes from being local."
Steve Bommer, founder of Spirit West & General Manager, Tersus Solutions

We run the cleaning cycle using CO₂, eliminating the need for water and dryers.
