Abstract

dominion motors & controls, ltd (DMC) had acquired 50% of the oil well pumping market in the northern Canadian oil fields since they were started in 1973. DMC offered a line of motors ranging from small fractional horsepower (hp) units to large 2,000 hp motors. It also produced motor control and panel board units. By 1984, there were approximately 5,500 producing wells in the fields. According to industry estimates, an average of 1,000 new wells would enter production each year for the next five years. Sales to this market were seasonal; over 80% were made between April and September.

DMC's competition consisted of other well-known Canadian Motor manufacturers and a number of foreign competitors. All the Canadian manufacturers maintained closely competitive pricing structures, while foreign competitors usually sold 10% to 20% below Canadian established prices.
