With the fate of Entegrity Wind Systems Inc. hanging in the balance, its clients are wondering what is going to happen to them if the business falls into bankruptcy.
Randy Visser, proprietor of Gerrit Visser and Sons potato warehouse in Orwell, purchased an Entergrity windmill last year.
He said Entegrity has no staff to service or repair the turbines on P.E.I.
“So far we have only had a few minor faults which we looked after ourselves.”
Entegrity’s clients are not the only ones who are affected.
Holland College’s Wind turbine technician course had an on-the-job training program with Entegrity.
Kent Sheen, program manager for the wind turbine technician course, hopes the company will pull through.
“Entegrity produced a great product and, from a college perspective, were great to work with.”
Gary Hogg, spokesperson for Entegrity, declined comment on the issue until after the court hearing on Oct. 9, when the court will decide on the company’s refinancing plan.
“The best case scenario is that other investors take control of the company, rehire some of the original staff, and honour the maintenance and warranty agreements the turbine owners like us had with Entegrity,” said Visser.
