Pressure Systems International (PSI) has completed an expansion of its San Antonio TX quality control laboratory and product testing facility.
The newest expansion just completed adds approximately 240 square feet of floor space converted to accommodate new equipment. This increases in-house capabilities to conduct root cause analysis, conduct testing to meet customer quality requirements and as part of any manufacturing improvement initiatives, and qualify test equipment and components.
The expanded lab within the San Antonio manufacturing facility has been upgraded with state-of-the-art equipment and measuring devices. The PSI laboratory is unique to their single product—automatic tire inflation for commercial vehicles, which the company developed and patented 20 years ago. Since then, testing capabilities have developed along with the growth of the product demand both in the United States and worldwide.
PSI’s San Antonio site recently received ISO 9001, ISO 14001 recertification. Charlie LaFuente, quality control manager/engineer, said, “Our quality record is really second to none for products manufactured here in San Antonio, but we’re never satisfied to rest on past experience. Much of this improvement and expansion was to upgrade in-house capabilities to have them closer to the manufacturing floor.”
The company plans future expansions to these facilities as demand warrants.
