Partner with a Purpose-Driven Industry Leader

It was in 1984 that this journey commenced within the confines of a humble condo in Pompano Beach, Florida. Luis Echarte and his son, our co-founder Arturo Echarte, were ahead of their time when they realized courier services were in high demand. Soon, they had the opportunity to expand into courier and mail services. They learned they could presort mail, and with that, extend USPS’ work-sharing discounts with their clients. A business was born. Starting with a single batch of mail and a client-centric philosophy, we have expanded operations nationwide, totaling more than 500k square feet across facilities and quadrupling our revenue in the last four years, bringing it to over $500+ million in annual revenue.

PCI expanded its capabilities to include not only print and mail solutions, but also fulfillment, signs, promotional, packaging and creative marketing, adapting to an ever-changing marketplace, while keeping its clients-centric approach untouched and steadfast in an entrepreneurial spirit of partnership, collaboration, integrity, and respect.

40 years later, PCI became a national leading full-service print, mail, and marketing partner, rooted in its client-centric values, teams, and communities.
