THE PSI HISTORY
Over the years, PSI has developed into an engineering firm
providing system integration and control solutions. We began
in Mayfield, KY as a full line electrical distributor. Today,
PSI assembles control panels and provides engineering service
to a vast array of industries. Our unique position as a former
electrical distributor has enabled us to form strong alliances
with many of the electrical manufacturers that we use as suppliers
today. We are able to capitalize on our strong relationships
in the industry to receive preferential pricing, thus increasing
our competitive advantage.
PSI was founded in 1961 by the father son team, A.C. and
Bill C. Pickens, and flourished for years as a supply house.
Bill's son, David E. Pickens, President and CEO, began his
career in the family business in outside sales. Soon after
joining the company, David realized the need for PSI to diversify
into more than a local electrical supplier. He began looking
for opportunities where he could combine the company's experience
and business relations to form a new venture, resulting in
PSI's future as a control systems integrator.
Initially, PSI assembled and supplied wire harness and kits
for the air compressor industry. Once established in this
market, PSI expanded into the assembly of control panels.
Through a well staffed control solutions team and a properly
equipped facility, PSI became a competitive force in the control
panel industry. After years of perfecting our business process,
PSI realized by utilizing our current resources with the addition
of a highly qualified electrical engineering staff, we could
provide a broader range of services. So, in 1996, the electrical
engineering department was in place, evolving PSI into a service
oriented company.
Today, PSI has facilities in North Carolina and Kentucky.
The tradition of evolving and expanding for the company's
long-term success continues as we aggressively seek to form
new relationships using our reputation as a superior control
systems integrator.
