About Us

Signet was founded by Ethan and Teresa Clark in 2008, with the aim of assisting customers in resolving issues related to vibration and performance while reducing maintenance costs on their compression equipment. Our team of analysts possesses exceptional mechanical skills and has a combined industry experience of more than 200 years.

Initially, Signet had only one equipment analyst. Today, the company has grown to include thirty professionals. Our team takes pride in delivering excellent customer service and producing outstanding results.

In May 2021, Spartan Controls acquired Signet to strengthen its position in the emissions testing and reliability services market. This acquisition enables us to identify technological solutions that enhance our customers' equipment reliability and environmental performance.

Signet's office is located in Red Deer, Alberta, and we proudly serve customers throughout Canada.
