Our Passion
Our mission is to build a great business fueled by a shared passion for quality products, efficient manufacturing and outstanding customer service.
Company Overview
While PCI has grown to be a global supplier, we still value our tradition as a family business. Founded in 1972 in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin by Joseph F. Irace, PCI relocated to St Louis, Missouri and began converting flexible packaging. In 1984 we began our rise as the leading producer of private label microwave popcorn packaging with capacity of 1 billion plus units per year. Later our line of concession packaging solidified PCI’s reputation as a leading supplier to cinemas, stadiums and arenas throughout the country.
A Passion for the Planet - Sustainability

PCI recognizes the need to offer environmentally responsible options that meet the end-user requirements. Whether it’s within the organization or through
its customers reach PCI holds an active environmental position for
future generations.
