WESTON, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 23, 2025--
Postal Center International (PCI), the fastest-growing provider of presort mail solutions, print, and marketing solutions, celebrated the grand opening of its newest facility, PCI Midwest, on Thursday, May 15, 2025.

With the symbolic 'Start Your Engines' call echoing through the audience, PCI executives, founders, dignitaries, and guests witnessed the ceremonial ribbon-cutting at the Brownsburg facility—a 65,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art operation already processing several million pieces of first-class mail per day.
'This isn't just an expansion. It's a strategic milestone driven by client demand, operational precision, and a bold vision for the future,' said Ismael Diaz, President & CEO of PCI. 'We built this facility in just 90 days, and we're not slowing down. PCI Midwest represents our commitment to meeting clients where they are—bringing jobs, value, and white-glove service to the region. From here, we head west to Phoenix and then to the Mid-Atlantic, fulfilling our promise to clients across the country.'
As a long-standing United States Postal Service (USPS) Business Alliance Partner, PCI plays a critical role in supporting and advancing national mail infrastructure. The launch of PCI Midwest strengthens that relationship by expanding USPS access to regional capacity, speed, and innovation—all while aligning with PCI's client-first service model.
The event featured remarks from Indiana government officials and partners, each highlighting PCI's role in enhancing the region's economic development and logistical strength.
Speaking on behalf of Indiana Governor Mike Braun, Mark Doud, Director of Intergovernmental Affairs, praised PCI's decision to plant roots in the Midwest.
Deb Cook, Town of Brownsburg Manager, Samuel Lowe, President of the Brownsburg Chamber of Commerce, USPS leadership, and representatives from major corporate partners were also in attendance.
The opening also featured a heartfelt philanthropic moment as PCI founders Susan and Arturo Echarte made a generous donation to Riley Cheer Guild, Inc., which supports pediatric patients and families at Riley Children's Health and Indiana University Health Hospitals. The donation reflects PCI's commitment to community upliftment through its Powerhouse Fund, an initiative launched in 2022. As part of our tradition, a charity organization receives a donation from the fund at every grand opening—such as the contribution made to Dana-Farber Cancer Institute during the PCI Northeast facility's ribbon-cutting ceremony in May 2023.
'The Powerhouse Fund is how we keep gratitude at the center of our growth,' said Dennis R. Garcia, Executive Vice President and CFO of PCI. 'Today's contribution is more than a check—it's a continuation of our mission to deliver excellence not only to our clients, but to the communities we serve.'
A nod to the region's racing culture added excitement to the event, complete with a racecar photo opportunity, helmeted executives, and a scissors delivery by PCI's 'copilot' in an actual Indy racecar—highlighting PCI's reputation for creativity, precision, and fun.
PCI Midwest joins a growing national network of facilities in Florida (PCI Southeast), Texas (PCI Southwest), and Massachusetts (PCI Northeast), bringing the company's total operational footprint to over 560,000 square feet. As PCI continues to scale at record pace, Diaz made clear the company's direction:
'We don't just serve the industry—we help shape its future. PCI Midwest is our green flag to go faster, go farther, and go together.'

Start your week smart: Inside the Trump-Musk feud, LA immigration clashes, military parade, Tony Awards, French Open
Every parent wants their children to be happy and healthy, but admit it: If they just happen to grow up to be professional athletes or tech entrepreneurs, so much the better. Well, it turns out that the key to raising an ultra-successful kid is not something special you should do — it's something you should not do. Here's what else you need to know to start your week smart. Get '5 Things' in your inbox If your day doesn't start until you're up to speed on the latest headlines, then let us introduce you to your new favorite morning fix. Sign up here for the '5 Things' newsletter. It's over. For now, at least. The once chummy relationship between President Donald Trump and billionaire Elon Musk imploded in a flurry of back-and-forth insults and allegations that played out on social media for all the world to see. Trump told CNN they won't be burying the hatchet anytime soon. 1️⃣ How it started: The animosity ramped up considerably when Musk called Trump's massive tax and domestic policy bill 'a disgusting abomination.' Then he shared old comments from Republicans about government spending. Things quickly went off the rails. 2️⃣ Ugly insults: The president and the world's richest man traded jabs about policy flip-flops and the 2024 election before things got increasingly personal. These are the nastiest things they said. 3️⃣ Social squabble: Trump may have finally been outmatched — by the owner of the platform he used to love. Musk wielded his X account like a political weapon while the president tried to keep up on Truth Social. 4️⃣ How people reacted: Conservatives lamented the feud and appeared torn between their two central heroes. Fox News — Trump's biggest media ally — treated this like a mere blip in their friendship. A Washington power couple straddles the line. 5️⃣ What's next? Trump floated the idea of terminating Musk's government contracts and said he will 'pay the consequences' if he starts funding Democrats. It remains to be seen where things go from here. The president often reconciles with allies, even after ugly things are said. • Trump deploys National Guard in response to LA clashes on immigration enforcement• Russia claims to have pushed into central Ukrainian region for first time• Federal judge approves $2.8B settlement, paving way for US colleges to pay athletes millions MondayPresident Trump's travel ban that bars the entry of nationals from 12 countries into the US goes into effect at 12:01 a.m. People from Afghanistan, Myanmar, Chad, the Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen will be fully restricted. Travelers from Burundi, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan and Venezuela will face partial restrictions. TuesdayNASA, Axiom Space and SpaceX are hoping to launch another private astronaut mission to the International Space Station. The crew of four will spend two weeks on the ISS, conducting science, education and commercial activities. WednesdayPoland's Prime Minister Donald Tusk has scheduled a parliamentary vote of confidence for his coalition government after populist firebrand Karol Nawrocki narrowly won the presidential election, delivering a blow to the centrist government's efforts to cement Warsaw's pro-European orientation. In a televised speech, Tusk said that he and his party want to show the world they 'understand the gravity of the moment, but that we do not intend to take a single step back.' President Trump, first lady Melania Trump, Vice President JD Vance and second lady Usha Vance are scheduled to attend the opening night performance of 'Les Misérables' at the Kennedy Center. Among those who will not be in attendance are at least 10 to 12 performers who are planning to sit out the show. The cast was given the option not to perform the night Trump will be in the audience, sources told CNN. SaturdayJune 14 is a date that will mark many things, including: Flag Day, President Trump's 79th birthday, the US Army's 250th birthday and the day that nearly 7,000 soldiers and millions of pounds of military hardware will roll down the streets of Washington in the largest military parade the US capital has seen in decades — fulfilling an oft-voiced wish of the president.

US, China Prepare for Second Round of Talks in London
Good morning. The US and China gear up for another round of trade talks. Korean stocks may get their big break under the new president. And Daiwa's chief stands behind diversity initiatives even as Trump attacks them. Listen to the day's top stories. Round 2: US and Chinese negotiators are set to open their second round of trade talks Monday in London, the first since Donald Trump and Xi Jinping finally broke a logjam. One promising sign: Beijing said it's already approved some rare-earth exports —a priority topic for Washington. A key goal for China will be to ease US chip controls. Don't get too excited though. Bloomberg Economics said it may be harder for either side to walk away with a win than in May's meeting.
