APC Group, Inc. Begins Trading
Alaskan Businessman Takes Company From Obscurity to the Public Markets
On August 12, 2008, shares of APC Group, Inc.
(OTCBB: APCU) began trading on the over the counter Bulletin Board (OTCBB).
APC Group is the first company from Fairbanks, Alaska to become publicly
traded. APC Group designs and manufactures patented water-tight
retractable power cord reels and proprietary extension cords for all
locations and climates.
Ken Forster, founder, CEO and President of APC Group, moved from Spain to
Fairbanks in 2000 with $40 in his pocket. He first lived in a local
mission and performed talk radio for Clear Channel stations. He later
became a weather forecaster for the local CBS and Fox affiliates. In 2003,
he developed his business model for manufacturing and distributing
watertight cord reels. Forster overcame significant personal odds in
building APC Group and bringing his dream to reality.
"Watching APCU shares trading is truly a dream come true; it's the epitome
of the American dream," said Forster. "Making a public market for our
shares will hopefully provide early investors who believed in our company
from the beginning the benefit of increasing stock value, and that's very
gratifying. And at the end of the day, it was people who made this
milestone possible; not banks, not politicians, but people who believed in
us and what we were doing."
