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. The high-energy event, set against the iconic spirit of Indy race season, drew community leaders, industry partners, and clients from across the country to honor this major expansion into the heartland of America.

'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.'

PCI's Strategic Expansion News, VIP Event, and Show-Stopping Booth Grab Headlines at NPF
WESTON, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Who said lightning doesn't strike the same place twice? Well, that's certainly not the case for Postal Center International (PCI), as once again, the largest USPS mailing event of the year—the National Postal Forum (NPF) held at the Gaylord Opryland Convention Center in Nashville, Tennessee, from April 27-30, 2025—served as the stage for electrifying moments at PCI's booth. This strategic growth [to the West and Mid-Atlantic regions] allows us to support our clients, bringing our signature mail presort excellence to these new markets. - Ismael Diaz, President & CEO of PCI. Share This year's event had 5,600 attendees, a 70% increase compared to the previous year's attendance. There was tremendous anticipation about the July 2025 Postage Rate Increase that could be felt across the entire exhibit hall, which brought significant traffic to PCI's booth, as PCI is now the premier first-class mail presort partner in the country. The attendees were eager to hear how PCI's mail presort expertise could help them offset the imminent July Postage Rate Increases by reducing postage costs and improving mail delivery. PCI was honored to host the Acting US Postmaster General, Doug Tulino, at its booth to meet the company's executive team for pictures and witness how PCI provides value to clients across the country. The PCI booth was the talk of the show, attracting a steady stream of visitors. Brian McGrath, PCI's CIO, hosted sessions on how PCI's technology streamlines mail operations and demonstrated PCI's custom Client Portal. William Levinson, PCI's VP of Operations, hosted sessions on how PCI uses AI technology to support our logistics strategy to provide an end-to-end chain of custody for clients' mail. The hottest ticket in town was the PCI VIP Event, held on Tuesday, April 29, 2025, with scores of guests gathering at the Gaylord Opryland Convention Center to mingle with PCI's President & CEO and his executive team. The event offered clients, partners, and prospects an exclusive opportunity to explore how PCI's multi-channel business solutions can accelerate mail communications and drive ROI. The night's highlight was President & CEO Ismael Diaz's announcement, sharing the next steps in PCI's National Expansion Plan, now covering the West and Mid-Atlantic regions. 'This strategic growth allows us to support our clients, bringing our signature mail presort excellence to these new markets,' said Ismael. Innovation wasn't the only draw. The PCI Hydration Station returned with impact, encouraging guests to refill their complimentary PCI-branded reusable water bottles while embracing the message: 'Take a Sip of Change.' The eco-conscious feature highlighted PCI's focus on sustainability by helping reduce single-use plastic. Another high-visibility win came through PCI's sponsorship of the official NPF event badges, ensuring thousands of attendees saw the PCI brand the moment they checked in—another strategic branding move that built on last year's successful sponsorship. Tom Roberts, Senior Vice President of Client Experience at PCI, said: 'NPF gives us a unique platform to connect directly with our clients, prospects, and USPS partners to network and support industry initiatives." With a client-centric focus, strategic alignment with USPS priorities, and a passion for innovation and sustainability, PCI left an indelible mark at NPF 2025.
