We are committed to maintaining an appropriate cost structure as we continue to grow and will remain vigilant in the pursuit of other opportunities that could add value to our Company and its shareholders.”

“We have proven that we can turn a profit and adapt quickly even as the industry continues to struggle. We believe we can take advantage of opportunities as they arise that will help Profire to succeed in the future,” said Brenton Hatch, President and CEO of Profire Energy. “Technology product development remains a key focus for the Company. Particularly we have invested in the 3100 product in order to expand its features and capabilities. Profire is committed to maintaining its position as an industry technology leader.”
