2021 was a challenging year. British Columbia was particularly hard hit ... but other parts of the country also took their licks — all while the pandemic worked everyone over.
From a business point of view, we were very successful at meeting our customer's needs. Whether by good luck or a result of our years of experience, we were able to provide complete systems right up until mid-August when our shelves became fully exhausted. For the first time in our history, our tank was empty. This brings us to now and where we go from here.
The issues of the time have forced our hand. We have made the decision to cease operations and close our business. Supply chain challenges for a small business like us make it too difficult to continue. Unpredictable price increases and out-of-sight freight costs affect customer confidence and our bottom line. Product wait-time measured in calendar pages generates too much uncertainty. We would be unable to provide the level of service that has built our company.
We very much regret this outcome. The past 20+ years have been good to us and allowed many great people to cross our path. It has been a pleasure to have been part of making your environment a safer place.
It has been an awesome ride. Stay safe everyone. Best wishes to all going forward.
