I would suggest that these guys are up against some REALLY STIFF competition on this subject. Allen-Bradley/Rockwell, GE, Emerson, Reliance, Square-D, Toshiba, Westinghouse and dozens of other long term electrical engineering and controls equipment companies have been making AC & DC drives, Controllers, and solid state Soft-Starts for many, many, many years. If PEFF has some kind of inside lock (..brother, cousins & in-laws on the BOD..) with Otis Elevator or a couple of Casinos, then they may have a niche market they can pursue. But, if they have to fight this battle in the open market they will get their arse kicked up around their shoulder blades. Their 5-year chart looks pretty sad.
Please be advised that "..any effort.." by a large facility that has not already incorporated "..Energy Management.." in it's operations will save considerable money by doing so. Anybody's products would help in that effort. A sizeable Casino or moderately large factory could pay me $100K a year for 5-8's, and I could save them more than double that every single year going forward on their power bills. It's just a matter of having someone with the appropriate experience and expertise dedicated to that effort.
