PCI Machine

What PCI Machine does

PCI Machine is a privately held industrial machining, fabrication, and repair services company founded in 1982 and headquartered in Zachary, Louisiana. The company operates as a B2B one-stop shop offering precision CNC machining, manual milling, lathe work, abrasive waterjet cutting, high-precision plasma cutting, welding (including exotic metals such as titanium and hastelloy), and custom fabrication from customer drawings or samples. It also provides full-service gearbox repair for planetary gearboxes, blowers, fans, mixers, pumps, and paper machine equipment, with skilled millwrights performing field consulting, troubleshooting, gear replacement, digital inspections, load testing, and teardown reporting.

The company's product portfolio includes independent replacement parts for pumps, gearboxes, and other industrial equipment (shafts, bearing housings, frames, sleeves, rings, Acme nuts and rods in American and Metric specifications), as well as hard-coated sleeves with ceramic and aluminum bronze spray coatings. Its flagship branded product is the Spill Stop Valve, a proprietary safety valve for floating roof storage tanks that uses a dissolvable sensing element to detect hydrocarbons in roof drain systems and automatically close, available in 4" and 6" 150-pound flange configurations with aftermarket service kits.

PCI Machine generates revenue through project-based custom machining services, professional repair services, waterjet and plasma cutting services, fabrication and welding services, one-time replacement parts sales, and Spill Stop Valve hardware sales. Pricing is custom and quote-based with no charge for breakdown and quote assessments. The company employs a direct sales motion targeting industrial manufacturing and processing customers (particularly in pulp and paper), oil and gas/chemical storage facilities with floating roof tanks, and pump and gearbox maintenance operations. Marketing is driven by industry reputation, word-of-mouth, and direct website contact. The company serves primarily the Louisiana and Gulf Coast industrial market but advertises global shipping capability for products and parts.
