Originally immersed in the landscaping and nursery trade, the Michas astutely recognized the growing demand for specialized irrigation solutions.
In 1956, responding to a client's request, they delved into the world of fountains, importing components after thorough research in Germany and the USA. The inaugural fountain installation marked the birth of our venture. In 1957, a pivotal agreement with a German manufacturer, facilitated through the esteemed Little Giant Corporation in the USA, led to the formal registration of our renowned tradename, PEM.
The evolution continued in 1960 when PEM introduced an enhanced product manufactured by a
                            different German company, featuring an improved alloy. Despite the inevitable challenges, PEM
                            transitioned to local production in Canada by 1961.
A trajectory of growth culminated in
                            the formal establishment and registration of our corporation in 1967, accompanied by the
                            formation of another influential partnership. In 1972, fueled by an unyielding commitment to
                            innovation, Peter Micha established a machine shop in the backyard, mastering the intricacies of
                            equipment and machinery.
By 1974, PEM, under Peter Micha's visionary leadership, emerged
                            as the manufacturer of the world's most advanced line of fountain equipment, epitomizing a
                            legacy of excellence and pioneering spirit.
 
                     
                    In 1976, amidst rapid business growth, PEM implemented a forward thinking prepayment discount
                            system to bolster cash flow, showcasing our commitment to adaptability. By 1985, we secured a
                            substantial industrial property for expansion.
The advent of automation in 1999 saw the
                            introduction of our first CNC automatic production lathe, complementing an array of manual
                            lathes and cutting-edge tools. Further tech upgrades followed in 2001 and 2002. Recognizing the
                            need for increased capacity, a warehouse expansion in 2000 and a corporate office addition in
                            2003 underscore our commitment to efficiency and centralized operations.
These strategic
                            moves embody PEM's journey of growth, technological advancement, and unwavering pursuit of
                            excellence.
