Before proceeding with the introduction of a revolutionary new product, PGI's board of director thought it prudent to retain an independent consultant to review the company's performance. Despite its rapid sales growth, the board was worried about PGI's financial ability to execute this expansion. Having taken two years of engineering before changing to accounting at university, Wyler feels he has the technical knowledge to understand the company's products, which will aid him in analyzing its financial performance. If this review goes smoothly, Wyler believes he will finally make partner after 10 years at the firm. Company Formation PGI was formed in 2005 by Dr. Maggi McGruder, P.Eng. who had taken a buyout from Natural Resources Canada, a department of the federal government of Canada, after becoming frustrated with the slow rate of implementation of her many ideas. McGruder completed her PhD in electrical engineering in 1997 at the University of Manitoba where her dissertation dealt with home and farm-based energy alternatives such as wind turbines, water turbines, solar panels, geothermal, and bio gas. In the new start-up, she decided to focus on wind and water turbines and solar panels because of her background in electrical engineering. Also, in her opinion, the geothermal and bio gas segments of the alternative energy industry were not cost effective in the long term. McGruder's knowledge of manufacturing and marketing was limited so she recruited two partners, Matthew Wiggins, P.Eng. and Nancy Cranston, CSP. Wiggins had over 30 years of experience supervising manufacturing facilities for companies such as Caterpillar, General Electric, and Nortel while Cranston had been a vice-president of marketing and sales for a number of equipment producers with her most recent position being with Stanley Tools. Each contributed $200,000 for a 25 percent share of the company and the remainder of the seed capital was provided by Wilson Mclvor, a retired Fortune 500 CEO, who had been an angel" to a number of other tech start-ups in Canada. After three rounds of funding from Can Do Venture Capital, each of the three founders' holdings had been reduced to 15 percent. In 2007, the angel and venture capitalists took PGI public in an initial public offering in order to exit the investment. The partners bought enough of the shares to maintain control.

Products took much longer than planned to develop and production processes where difficult to master. Venture capital financing was also difficult to acquire and the owners had to relinquish a much larger portion of the business than hoped to secure the needed funding. By 2008, the products and manufacturing facilities were in place. Despite initial hesitancy, a number of key distributors were recruited. In Canada, both Canadian Tire and Home Hardware agreed to carry PGI's products. Canadian Tire also featured them in one of their advertising campaigns where they stressed their new focus on environmentally-friendly products. The Co-op, a Page 1 farmer cooperative organization and major agricultural supply chain, agreed to sell the products and allowed PGI to promote them at all their membership meetings. In the U.S., Eagle Hardware and a number of regional farmer cooperatives also signed distribution agreements. Sales of PGI's products increased dramatically from 2008 to 2016. Farmers welcomed them as a way to reduce costs in a competitive industry and to avoid frequent power outages that can be problematic especially for dairy and poultry producers. People living in remote areas found them to be a cheaper alternative to burning fossil fuels, while environmentally conscious consumers felt they greatly reduced their ecological footprint. New Product Introduction To expand its product line further, PGI is currently developing an advanced power management system. This includes high-capacity batteries that store electricity to balance differences in generation and consumption as well as a monitoring system that automatically resells power to the local grid when user's needs are met and prices offered by the local public utility are at their highest. The monitoring system also detects faulty storage batteries so they can be quickly replaced. PGI will produce its own batteries using technology licensed from a well-known research firm, but the remainder of this new system is being developed in-house and is considered "leading-edge" by the industry. 11C Mostly cloudy () I 1 6:47 PM 10/9/2021 PDF Case 1 - Power Green Industries X PDF Case 1 Power Green Industries X + C File C:/Users/PC%201/Downloads/Case%201%20-%20Power%20Green%20Industries%20(2).pdf 2 of 5 + ( Page view | A Read aloud Draw Highlight Erase New Product Introduction To expand its product line further, PGI is currently developing an advanced power management system.
