Our story
From a Université Laval lab to your production lines.
Founded at Université Laval
Years of surface plasma expertise
Industry verticals served
Design, manufacturing and testing on site
From the lab to the market
Our story begins in December 2019 at Université Laval. We were two: a scientific mind passionate about plasma technology, Jacopo Profili, and a doctoral student in infectious diseases, Marine Queffeulou, eager to improve tomorrow's health and curious to learn more about scientific entrepreneurship.
Together we created a story worth telling: from the research lab to the commercialization of an innovative technology. At Kalego Solutions, our mission is to create a positive impact through cutting-edge technologies, optimized to meet your needs.
Whether you are a researcher looking for innovative new equipment, or a company seeking tailor-made solutions, we are here for you. Backed by a talented and diverse team, we are proud to rise to your challenges every day.
The founders
Co-founder · Chief Executive Officer
A doctoral candidate in infectious diseases at Université Laval's Faculty of Medicine, Marine juggles two demanding worlds: academia and business. Her scientific expertise and her ability to structure and run Kalego Solutions have been key to our growth.
Co-founder · Chief Technology Officer
A researcher in atmospheric-pressure plasmas, winner of the Young Investigator Award at the 25th ISPC for his work on dielectric barrier discharges. He is also a proud "nerd" who brings his know-how to every project and shapes your next innovation.
The team
Engineering, process, manufacturing and testing: the team covers the full chain, from characterizing your material to commissioning on your line.

Our approach
We start by understanding your surface before proposing anything. If plasma is not the right answer to your problem, we say so — that reflex is what the lab left us with.
Nothing goes to production without measurement. We treat your parts in our facilities and document the result, so the decision to invest rests on data rather than on a promise.
A reactor is only worth something once it is on your line. We design for your real constraints — throughput, footprint, operators — and we stay reachable after commissioning.
Our highlights
ULaval–CDPQ Entrepreneurial Academy. The team grows and production is structured around the reactor product lines.
Jacopo Profili receives the Young Investigator Award at the 25th ISPC (Kyoto) for his work on atmospheric plasmas. Marine Queffeulou wins the first Marie-France Poulin scholarship in women's entrepreneurship.
Kalego Solutions is incorporated, followed by the first industrial contracts and services.
Proto10 program at Entrepreneuriat ULaval: moving from a lab bench setup to the first prototype we could show a customer.
First external validations of the technology: Devtech competition (1st jury prize) and the Université Laval Business Idea Competition.
Marine Queffeulou and Jacopo Profili meet in the Université Laval lab. The Kalego project is born.

Support and funding
The team has grown every year since 2019. We read unsolicited applications, in process engineering as well as in manufacturing and surface characterization.
Welcome to our world of innovation
A description of the material and the problem is enough to get started. An engineer answers you, not an automated form.
