Who We Are

PSI was founded in 1984 by Charlie von Reis and Karlis Vizulis. They found that a membrane commonly used for filter housings could be engineered into a breathable, leak-proof seal for packaging caps.

The company quickly found a niche through customization, efficiently and cost-effectively creating unique venting solutions for a broad range of customers, successfully taking on jobs that other manufacturers rejected as too difficult or unprofitable to solve.

Today, we specialize in the integration of microporous membrane and filter materials into plastic components and housings used in container venting, medical filtration and laboratory & analysis products.

PSI has extensive experience with difficult media and substrates, and we continue to evolve and diversify our capabilities by creating innovative, customized products for our customers. We can take products from concept to market very quickly. Our manufacturing equipment is engineered for maximum speed and accuracy. Our highly flexible, automated processes allow us to provide contract assembly work with minimal tooling costs.

Our Commitment

PSI is committed to effective, unique and consistent product solutions that meet specific customer needs. Our ability to create individualized solutions is based on listening to our customers and having open dialogue. As a result, we have earned a reputation as a problem solver and expert manufacturer.

Our Facilities

PSI is headquartered in Grand Rapids, Michigan USA, where we have a
73,000–square-foot facility that combines manufacturing and warehouse space as well as a clean room, a product prototype workshop and dedicated tooling areas and office space.
