What PCI does

PCI (Petroleum Containment, Inc.), founded in 1984 and headquartered in Jacksonville, Florida, is a privately held, family-owned manufacturer of fiberglass secondary containment systems for underground storage tanks (USTs) and fueling infrastructure. The company operates two manufacturing facilities totaling more than 200,000 square feet and employs approximately 200 people, producing tank sumps, transition sumps, dispenser sumps, penetration fittings, tank collars, EV expansion boxes, and supporting accessories such as adhesives and conversion frames.

PCI's core technology is its proprietary Duo-Molded construction, which combines two layers of high-glass-content fiberglass for watertight, fuel-resistant performance. Differentiated product features include the Twist-Lok access cover (an injection-molded fiberglass lid with a 12-point contact sealing surface that can be replaced without breaking concrete), the Brite-White interior finish for leak visibility, and closed-mold manufacturing that delivers consistent wall thickness. The portfolio is UL Listed 2447 and complies with California Title 23 (AB 2481), Florida DEP EQ-203, and the federal Build America, Buy America Act (BABAA), positioning PCI as a qualified supplier for state-regulated UST installations and federally funded infrastructure projects.

Commercially, PCI runs a sales-led model through corporate headquarters and a U.S. manufacturers' representative network (including PGM Associates and Lucas Ford Associates), pricing products on a project/spec basis with Net 30 terms. Revenue is generated entirely from one-time hardware sales to petroleum equipment installers, contractors, and site owners across primary vertical (gas stations, c-store fueling, petroleum contractors) and emerging verticals (data center backup power, marinas, aviation FBOs, EV charging). The company is actively investing in new product introductions, including closed-mold sumps (PCS, RSS, CLS series) and the 'Forever Fittings' penetration fittings line launched in 2026.
