Back in Jan. 2016, the specialty electrical products manufacturer, Myers filed suit against Pioneer Power including Pioneer Custom Electrical Products Corp. (PCEP) and two of PCEP’s employees.

The suit was filed with the Superior Court of the State of California based on the allegations that Pioneer Power kept confidential business secrets of Myers and used the information wrongly.

Myers received two preliminary injunctions: prohibiting Pioneer Power from interfering with a one-time special cash dividend to its shareholders and tracking certain strategic transactions.

Under the new settlement, these injunctions have been terminated. Also, the lawsuit and all the relevant actions are dissolved with prejudice.

It was vulnerable for Pioneer during all these years going through the legal action and was stopping it to follow its business growth. This settlement allows the company to move forward removing litigation roadblocks and focus on its growth progress.
