about us
PGL utilizes flexible assembly lines that are focused on major product groupings. This allows PGL to easily shift production capacity to meet unexpected changing customer demand levels and product mix while maintaining the efficient use of trained labor. PGL also has developed efficient inline methods to support specialized product testing when required by the customer or by the application.
PGL is very proactive in throughput/lean manufacturing practices and in supporting inventory reduction programs with our customers. Some customers have been able to reduce their inventories by more than 40% through PGL supported programs that have included Just-In-Time, Kanban and pull systems based around specialized scheduling and release systems.

Located in Chicago, Illinois, PGL has 150,000 square feet of engineering, assembly and distribution capacity.
PGL's foundation for growth is a comprehensive and broad range product offerings supported by a highly experienced and qualified staff of engineers and technicians.
