Profire Energy Files Patent Application for Valve Technology

Company Developing Valve Technologies to Potentially Complement Current Product Offering of Burner Management Products

LINDON, Utah, Sept. 10, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Profire Energy, Inc. (OTCBB:PFIE), a technology company which manufactures, installs and services burner management systems and other combustion technologies for the oil and gas industry, today announced that it has filed a patent application related to certain valve technologies the company is developing. This recent application represents the fifth product or technology for which the company has filed a patent application.

"We anticipate the pursuit of intellectual property will continue to play a key part in product development as we seek to bring innovative technologies to the industry," said Andrew Limpert, Chief Financial Officer of Profire. "While we don't rely on patents alone to establish or maintain our competitive advantage in the market, they do play a role in ensuring our products are protected from direct imitation. Such protection may be important as we grow and expand our product line."

The recent patent application also reflects the company's ongoing interest in developing complementary products to add to its existing product offering.

"As more wells are drilled each year, our opportunity in this large industry continues to grow," said Justin Hatch, V.P. of Business Development of Profire. "While the core of our business continues to be burner management, we do not want to miss opportunities to offer complementary technologies to our valued customers. We hope our efforts in the area of valve technologies will lead to the development of valuable products for the industry in the future. We will continue to explore technologies that have potential to expand our product offering, while pursuing intellectual property protections for such technologies as we deem appropriate."
