The story
Profire Energy was established in Alberta, Canada in March 2002 as a private company (Profire Combustion). Brenton W. Hatch and Harold E. Albert 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.
In 2025, CECO Environmental completed the purchase of Profire for approximately $122.7 million.
