Services and history

Candei was founded in 2006 by Marcel Mercier who saw the potential of LED lighting well before it became mainstream. At a time when the technology was just emerging, Marcel recognized that for businesses to truly benefit from LED, they needed more than just access to products - they needed a trusted distributor who could guide them toward the right solutions.​

Nearly two decades later, Candei remains driven by that original vision: to make LED lighting simple, effective, and impactful for industrial clients.​

Headquartered in Montreal, Candei specializes in high-performance LED lighting solutions for warehouses, factories, industrial parking lots, and large commercial spaces across Canada.
