PMC Industries

What PMC Industries does

PMC Industries, doing business as Packaging Pump Engineers, is a private, family-owned US manufacturer of specialty packaging machinery, headquartered in Hackensack, New Jersey. Founded as Progressive Machine Co. in 1919 by John Wysocki and re-established as PMC Industries in 1946 by his son Kazmier Wysocki, the company is now in its 3rd and 4th generation of family ownership (Peter and Peter Jr. Wysocki). Its singular focus is closure-application equipment for containers whose closures incorporate dip tubes, including finger pumps, trigger pumps, lotion pumps, aerosol valves, nail polish caps, and screw caps.

The company's product portfolio is exclusively mechanical and electromechanical, with no software component. Core products include finger pump cappers, trigger pump cappers (CR, XRI, and ERI series), nail polish cappers, inserter/crimpers, lotion pump cappers, aerosol valve placers, sorter bins, automatic servo changeover systems, overcappers, and ball droppers, with throughput ranging from 60 to 400+ units per minute depending on model. Differentiation rests on several granted patents covering diptube guidance, sorting, trigger pump orientation, and automatic jam-clearing, plus design features such as non-marking chucks, color-coded change parts, and magnetic spindle clutches. The company also generates revenue through Certified Machinery Rebuilds, on-site field service, spare parts, and a used-equipment channel that supports the installed base.

PMC Industries sells directly to enterprise manufacturers of consumer goods, including named customers such as Coty (cosmetics), Sherwin Williams (paint/coatings), and Pfizer (pharmaceuticals), with a stated footprint covering most major US consumer goods manufacturers and select international customers. There is no public pricing; all sales are quote-based with multi-year contract cadence. Marketing is minimal, relying on the company website, phone-based inbound, and PMMI industry association positioning rather than digital campaigns. The company has no external investors, no recent M&A activity, and no public funding history.
