LINDON, Utah, May 15, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Profire Energy, Inc. (Nasdaq:PFIE), a technology company that creates, installs and services oilfield burner and chemical management solutions in the oil and gas industry, today announced that Andrew Limpert, the Company's Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer and Secretary and a director of the Company, will resign from all roles effective June 15, 2015, after the Company files its annual report on form 10-K and hosts its earnings call. Mr. Limpert joined Profire Energy in 2007.
"Working with the Profire team has been an extraordinary experience. It has been a privilege to work together to begin changing one of America's key industries, all while seeing the difference that Profire makes in the lives of our customers, employees, families, and communities. There is substantial talent and creativity among Profire's employees and management team, and I believe there is a bright future ahead of Profire, as the Company builds on the foundation we have laid over the past eight years. I will be eagerly watching the Company in the coming months and years, while pursuing new ventures in building yet other early-stage companies."
Profire's Chief Executive Officer, Brenton Hatch, remarked on Limpert's contributions:
"Having worked with Andrew before Profire was even public, I am particularly appreciative of the insights, capability, and leadership that he has brought to Profire since 2007," said Mr. Hatch. "Andrew has a strong passion for the Company, and his vision of bringing Profire public, helping us list on a national exchange, and raise growth capital has all come to fruition—so much of which was led by Andrew. We wish him and his loved ones the very best in his future ventures, as we now look to the next horizon for the Profire family."
Select members of the Company's board of directors are expected to work with the Company's executive team to identify a qualified successor to Limpert. The Company's guidance is unchanged for its previously ended 2015 fiscal year.
