2013/2/12 - Profire Energy Renovates Existing Warehouse and Allocates Funds for Additional Shipping Bay

"Although historically a majority of our sales have come from Canada, recently we are seeing exciting growth in our US operations," said Cameron Tidball, VP Sales & Marketing of Profire. "Our Texas office—opened just last year—is already profitable, and our Utah office is also seeing marked sales growth. While we expect Canada to continue its history of product development and sales revenues, it is possible that our United States sales may surpass Canadian sales in the coming 12 to 18 months."

The company's recent renovation and expansion includes:

• an additional shipping bay (sale pending)
• a mezzanine which is being used primarily for the company's increased research and development initiatives
• renovation of office space to provide additional offices for new accounting and sales personnel
• implementation of an improved barcode-scanning inventory system, which ties to new accounting software implemented by the company

"These recent improvements to our warehouse represent our continued interest in improving distribution efficiency," said Andrew Limpert, chief financial officer of Profire. "As we have seen continued growth in US sales, we are expanding and preparing for increased US distribution to ensure that our supply chain is prepared to meet the demands of US sales."
