I don't think they'll ship.
They either patent the product in which case cheap clones are produced before they get to market, or they keep it a secret and never release. Since the CEO is the inventor, I think they'll try to keep it secret.
Slow companies that want to do everything perfect just don't work once they lose that edge. They fail to compete.
