Performance Systematix Incorporated what we do solutions industries menu About Us Our Story PSI enables packaging to breathe. This maintains the desired appearance and product protection by preventing problems like swelling and panelling. But we don’t sell venting products, we sell venting solutions. Every application has unique challenges, so we work with you, from product concept to shelf presentation. This is how we ensure you get the combination of performance and economics your product needs. We serve a host of industries with little in common except a dependence on quality packaging. Whether our customers are in consumer products, agricultural, institutional, professional or industrial chemicals, life sciences or the medical field, they all rely on package venting solutions for reliability, appearance, and protection. Some customers come to us for our unique, breathable materials, while others ask us to assemble our materials with their closures. However you want to work, we can accommodate your needs. PSI is now in it’s fourth decade. Spotting the unique potential of ePTFE to solve the problem of package swelling and panelling, our founders formed a company to develop and sell solutions. A few years and two Ann Arbor offices after their launch, PSI needed more space and moved the operation to Grand Rapids. Within fifteen years PSI outgrew two locations and yet again needed more space. This time, we built a new facility specific to our work flow requirements. The new plant opened in 2004, and with 63,000 sq.ft. configured to our exact growing needs. Solving Your Problems Breathing is a problem for many packaging types. Elevation, temperature and formulation changes cause distortion and affect appearance and how the contents are protected. Early in PSI’s development, we decided we would only sell customized solutions…solutions that actually meet the needs of their customers. You’ll find we still hold to that approach all these years later. We listen to our customers and ask questions to ensure we understand their needs, not just at the start of a project but all the way through. Only once we have a complete understanding of the problem do we start developing answers, and we do this together, rather than in isolation. Standing shoulder-to-shoulder with our customers, we create solutions that balance their complex needs. It’s made us global leaders in package venting, and to help us stay on top we follow trends in packaging and technology and continuously evaluate how best to apply our accumulated experience. Advanced Capabilities Our customers expect the venting solutions we provide to work flawlessly, every time. To achieve that level of consistency we’ve made substantial investments over the last decade in new technologies, manufacturing, R&D and quality. Our Grand Rapids facilities include a clean room, a product prototype workshop, performance & testing lab, dedicated tooling areas and automated machines that virtually eliminate variation on the fly. By employing 100% in-line camera inspection wherever possible and and in-line air & water pressure testing systems, we ensure product free of defects prior to leaving our plant. PSI is in the business of solving the problem of allowing packaging to breathe. That expertise is built on our industry-leading materials expertise, and underpinned by our manufacturing and testing capabilities. When you need closures you can depend on, talk to us.
