Probe Manufacturing Completes Acquisition of General Electric International, Inc. Heat Recovery Solutions Assets
COSTA MESA, Calif. - Probe Manufacturing, Inc. ("PMI") (OTC: PMFI) announced it has completed the purchase of the assets of GE's Heat Recovery Solutions business from General Electric International, Inc and closure of related funding agreement with ETI Partners IV LLC.
The acquisition includes substantially all of the assets relating to GE's Heat Recovery Solutions business, which were located at GE's facility in Costa Mesa, California. The Company announced that it concurrently relocated and commenced integration of its professional engineering operations with those of the acquired assets into the Costa Mesa location. The GE's Heat Recovery Solutions system captures waste heat from a variety of sources and turns it into electricity that users can use or sell back to the grid.
Concurrent with its original announcement of the transaction, the Company announced that it is changing its name to "Clean Energy Technologies, Inc." The Company further announced that it is in the process of implementing that name change and also intends to change its stock trading symbol to "CETI." The Company believes the new name and trading symbol will better reflects the Company's focus on energy efficient technologies, consistent with the Company's strategy, announced in 2014, of focusing its core professional engineering business on supporting start-ups, VC-backed and other emerging growth companies with engineering and manufacturing services related to their products, with an emphasis in Clean Tech.
Kam Mahdi, CEO of PMI, said, "This acquisition meets several of our long- and short-term strategic objectives and is designed to reinforce our strategy of utilizing our engineering and manufacturing expertise to develop and acquire energy-efficiency and other clean technologies." Mahdi added, "Throughout the integration, customers will remain our top priority. We look forward to working with our new Clean Energy HRS (Heat Recovery Solutions) customers, employees and suppliers as we accelerate the implementation of energy-efficient products worldwide."
"We believe acquiring a proven, proprietary clean technology product that we can offer worldwide to a significant addressable market solidifies the Company's strategy to be a clean energy technology solutions provider," said Mahdi. "Securing our own technology and intellectual property was a key goal of our growth strategy, and it is exciting to have accomplished that goal already in 2015."
