PCT Engineered Systems Opens New Facility

January 2007
DAVENPORT, Iowa—PCT Engineered Systems, announced that its new 40,000-square-foot facility is now complete. PCT moved into their new facility in the Eastern Iowa Industrial Center (EIIC) in northwest Davenport on January 12th, 2007. This facility will support the continued growth in PCT’s business and enable the company to achieve their strategic plan objectives.

The company’s growth has been fueled by the acquisition of the BroadBeam line of electron beam processors in 2003. The expanded manufacturing space will enable a more efficient work flow and allows PCT to support a larger production volume. As part of the new facility, PCT is also installing a pilot line with an electron beam processor. The pilot line is available for customer trails and testing.

Examples of products made with electron beam technology include shrink wrap film, adhesive tape, orange juice cartons, ice cream containers and laminate furniture. Electron beam processing provides important environmental benefits to manufacturers. The process is very energy efficient and the special 100 percent solids inks and coatings used contain no solvents, therefore no volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are produced.

PCT has also seen growth in the demand for the engineering services they provide to manufacturers. These services include control system integration, drive system applications, custom machine fabrication, combustion systems, and Plant Floor IT applications.
