Pressure Systems International Receives Excellence in Manufacturing
Commendation from Texas Manufacturing Assistant Center
San Antonio, TX (November 13, 2008) On October 28th, the South Central Region Texas Manufacturing Assistance Center (TMAC) recognized Pressure Systems International for its innovations in lean manufacturing and continuous improvement practices to reduce costs and increase manufacturing capacity. Congressman Charlie Gonzales, D-San Antonio, was on hand to make the award presentation to all members of the PSI team at their manufacturing facility in San Antonio.
PSI, founded in 1993, is a leader in the manufacturing of automatic tire inflation systems producing the Meritor Tire Inflation System (MTIS™) by PSI, which is the most widely-used system in North America. MTIS™ was recognized in 2000 with an R&D 100 Award as one of the year’s 100 most significant technological achievements; and in 2006 ThermALERT™, an advanced MTIS™ by PSI technology that detects increased wheel end temperatures was introduced.
TMAC is a federally assisted program hosted by Southwest Research Institute® (SwRI®) to provide affordable technical assistance to Texas manufacturers. By adopting lean manufacturing and continuous improvement techniques, small companies can gain some of the same efficiencies as larger manufacturing firms.
