Throughout the years, PCBP has grown exponentially, but one thing has remained the same: we are still a family-owned company with the same set of high standards implemented by Fred all those years ago.

Our companies' 'house' logo was designed years ago with the sides not touching. The slight separations signify that our companies are never complete, but always evolving, open to new products, innovations, and ideas.
