COMPANY PROFILE

BACKGROUND:

The company, now known as Pioneering Technology, was originally started over two decades ago by Dr. Reza Shah, a noted international inventor and scientist. Among his numerous accomplishments, Dr. Shah helped design the navigation system for Apollo 11 (the first rocket to land on the moon) and the black box for the airline industry.

After a long and distinguished career working and consulting for various companies, Dr. Shah began his second career as an entrepreneur. He founded ThermoSmart Inc. in 1998 to develop and market Safe-T-element® for safer, more energy-efficient stovetop cooking after personally experiencing a cooking fire.

ThermoSmart was later purchased, restructured and became Pioneering Technology Corp. Pioneering has since evolved into a multi-product business-to-business focused safety and energy Smart product innovation Company.

Today:

Pioneering Technology Corp., based in Mississauga, Ontario, is an “energy smart” technology company and North America’s leader in innovative cooking fire prevention technologies and products. The company’s proven product solutions help prevent cooking fires and false alarms by helping prevent these types of fires from starting in the first place. They help reduce energy consumption and deliver a proven return on investment.

Pioneering’s proprietary cooking fire prevention solutions include SmartBurner, SmartElement, SmartRange, Safe-T-Sensor, and SmartMicro. Pioneering’s patented “temperature limiting control” (TLC) technology and products have been recognized by the fire prevention community as the most compelling technologies and products available in the market today to help prevent cooking fires and help solve the multi-billion-dollar cooking fire problem. The company has installed over 1.5 million of its TLC burners to date without a single cooking fire.

According to the National Fire Protection Association, stovetop cooking is North America’s number one cause of household fire and fire injuries. Pioneering’s temperature limiting control (TLC) technology is now installed in over 400,000 multi-residential housing units across North America without a single cooking fire, delivering peace of mind and a solid return on investment for its customers.
