Perpetua Announces a Spin-off of its Wearable Thermoelectric Technology Business

Perpetua Power Source Technologies, Inc. will continue to build on its momentum in the industrial wireless sensor markets, while the new spin-off, Thermogen Technologies, Inc., will strategically focus on the rapidly expanding wearables and IoT markets.

January 14, 2015

CORVALLIS, OR –– Perpetua Power Source Technologies, Inc. (“Perpetua”) announced that its Shareholders approved a plan to spin-off a portion of its proprietary thermoelectric energy harvesting technology business into a standalone company, Thermogen Technologies, Inc. (“Thermogen”). This transaction was effective as of December 31st, 2014 and both companies will remain at the current location.

Perpetua also announced that James F. Hensel, former President of Perpetua’s IoT division, will serve as Chief Executive Officer of Thermogen. R. Jon Hofmeister remains the President of Perpetua Power Source Technologies, Inc. and Director of Thermogen. “Capitalizing on the exciting market interest of our innovative wearable thermoelectric energy harvesting technology, TEGwear™, we’re confident that the Thermogen spin-off will allow us to further capture customer interest in a broad range of wearable and Internet of Things applications,” said Jon Hofmeister.

“With a robust patent portfolio around ultra low-grade heat energy recovery technology, an experienced leadership team, and supportive client base, we are excited about this opportunity to further develop and market our unique renewable energy technology into several highly active market areas,” said Jim. He continued, “Wearables, smart home, and smart city are all enormous emerging markets that are actively searching for viable battery supplement solutions. We are already engaged in several key engineering contracts with product development partners, so this spin-off will act as a catalyst to focus support on these existing plus new customers to speed up our wearables and IoT roadmap.”

Perpetua raises $3 million in new investment funds

December 31, 2014

PORTLAND, OR –– Perpetua Power Source Technologies, Inc. (“Perpetua”), a leading manufacturer of renewable energy solutions announced it has closed a $3 million investment led by current investors and joined by NextSteps Capital. Perpetua will utilize the funding to continue to enhance its products and expand its production capabilities.

“Perpetua is an ideal company for our investment. They have proven technology that has been in the market for many years, coupled with a management team that has the experience to grow the company,” said Tom Labrecque, Managing Director of NextSteps Capital. “With the growth in wireless sensing applications, Perpetua’s Power Pucks® have an expanding market opportunity and a strong base of support to build from.”

Perpetua supplies fully certified thermoelectric products that power wireless sensors. The Company’s breakthrough energy harvesting products deliver a new combination of renewable energy, power management and ease of installation for wireless sensors. By extending battery life, or replacing batteries altogether, Perpetua’s products enable wireless sensors to collect more data over a given time period and offer opportunities to effectively operate in a wider range of environments.

While there has been explosive growth in the use of wireless mesh networks in industrial applications in the last few years, users have had to balance the benefits of wireless monitoring with the cost of maintaining the batteries that power the wireless sensors (the more data collected, the more power required, the more batteries need to be replaced). Perpetua Power eliminates the trade-offs with environmentally friendly Power Pucks® that rely on temperature differences to generate long-life, continuous, renewable energy. A key benefit for customers is that near real-time data can be captured with rates as fast or even faster than every second, resulting in increased input for analysis and modeling, important to efficiently managing processes like enhanced oil recovery.

“This most recent round of financing will help us expand on several recent customer successes, particularly in the oil and gas sector, and increase our offerings to the market,” said Jon Hofmeister, Perpetua Power’s President. In addition, we are excited about the addition of NextSteps Capital as our newest investors.”
