They have offices in Lindon, Utah; Edmonton, Alberta; Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; Houston, Texas; Victoria, Texas; and Tioga, Pennsylvania.

## History

Profire Energy was established in Alberta, Canada in March 2002 as a private company ("Profire Combustion"). Brenton W. Hatch (now CEO), Harold E. Albert (now COO) co-founded the company to service oil/gas producers, but soon created a control panel for the management of burners, a system called the Profire 1100. After a few years of continued development, the company made the decision to go public (in 2008) under the name Profire Energy, Inc. (OTCBB: PFIE). They have since developed additional (and more advanced) products, opened multiple offices throughout the US, and continued development of their product line for domestic and international use.

## Markets

Profire Energy predominately serves the North American upstream and midstream oil/gas industry, but announced a Brazilian distribution channel in early 2012, as well as an Australian distribution channel in early 2014.
