Small business month is coming to a close, and one local business celebrating their success is Moose Jaw's Eneray Sustainable Products which opened in 2008.

Founder and President of the company Michael Dombowsky says as a small business owner he has many obstacles to overcome but loves this city and is happy this is where he calls home.

"Saskatchewan, and in particular Moose Jaw, is a great place for a small business," said Dombowsky. "Our rental rates are less than Regina and Saskatoon. There's opportunity in Edmonton with the slow down of the oil patch but the family aspect of Moose Jaw remains attractive, we just have to overcome the labour issues here in Moose jaw."

Dombowsky says he still struggles like any new business owner, finding it hard to retain good people as his business grows.

Eneray supplies high-performance fiber re-enforced concrete products used for various structures like bridges and luxury decks, which Dombowsky says is right up his alley.

"I designed and project managed the whole Tunnels of Moose Jaw development, so design is what I do and this business is based on technologies that we invented and are patent pending which are a result of both my brother Ben and myself. So innovation is really the hallmark of what we do."

Dombowsky says that in addition to the local work, they are quickly expanding. 

"(We have projects in) Regina and Saskatoon and doing a massive project out at Big Shell Lake (with) over 3,300 sq ft of decks on multiple tiers and we're doing projects in Calgary, Edmonton, Red Deer, Lethbridge and Vancouver and finding opportunity in Ottawa and  (we) just fielded an inquiry for Georgia."

Dombowsky couldn't be more pleased with how well his business is doing so far, and is excited to see what the future holds.

Eneray's plant is in the old Sasko Windows building on Athabasca Street East.
