With PSC’s founding in 1987, the owners brought a prior background of experience in the engineered wood panel industry to the new company. That experience included sourcing, production supervision and sales management, giving the new company a strong background on what the customer base would want, where to source the materials necessary to produce the products, and the manufacturing technology to produce as the customer would dictate.

Even with new production personnel, management’s training and transfer of their experience to those personnel, the company began almost immediately to develop a name as a company for whom the customer could expect utter dependability. PSC’s creed became: Provide the customer with the product they desire, at the quality level they require, on the date they need and at a fair price.

Over the years, with continuous changes in the wood products landscape, it became necessary to either change or add to the company’s profile. In the early years, the company profile was built on thin hardboard panel products. As more and more mills began to reduce their reliance on commodity hardboard products, it became necessary to develop a world footprint of suppliers. PSC International was incorporated at the turn of the century to fulfill the international sourcing requirements and the required warehousing. As a large part of the furniture industry began to move overseas, the domestic production company realized the need to diversify into a broader industrial customer base, increase the offering of engineered wood panels and increase its product capabilities through installation of more and varied types of manufacturing equipment. To achieve these goals, it became necessary to increase the footprint of the manufacturing facility, which was done in the spring of 2003.
