Share:
(Davenport, Iowa) - PCT Engineered Systems, LLC is excited to announce their plans for a major expansion project. The plans feature a new 40,000-square-foot facility to be built in the Eastern Iowa Industrial Center (EIIC) in northwest Davenport. This facility will support the continued growth in PCT's business and enable the company to achieve their strategic plan objectives.
The total investment in the project is estimated to be $8.8 million. The growth plans also call for the creation of 41 new jobs over the next three years. The average wage for these jobs is expected to be $43,900.
Financial support for the project is currently being sought from the State of Iowa and the City of Davenport. Other support is being requested from the Bi-State Revolving Loan Fund, Eastern Iowa Community College District Iowa New Jobs Training Program, and the Greater Davenport Redevelopment Corporation. PCT has selected Ryan Companies US, Inc. as the general contractor for this project.
"PCT has called the Quad Cities home for our entire 20 year history," states Terry Thompson, president of PCT. "Our choice to continue our growth in Davenport was made in the best interests of our staff and in recognition of the ease of access to Interstate 80 for transportation of our products."
The company's growth has been fueled by the acquisition of the BroadBeam® line of electron beam processors. These machines were originally manufactured in California. Presently, 62 percent of the materials PCT uses are sourced locally.
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.
