    PCS Co.
    PCS Co. President Angela Elsey honors former company co-owner Jim Stuart earlier this summer during a party marking the company's 75th anniversary. “Seventy-five years is unbelievable,” Elsey told PCS staff during a short presentation at the luncheon. “I can’t be more proud to be just a small part of the 75-year history and so grateful to all of you.' Stuart, the son of the founder of PCS, attended the event along with several retired PCS employees. He received a machined ejector pin to commemorate his legacy “My father and his partner would not believe” how far PCS has progressed since they started, Stuart said.
    Former co-owner still enjoys occasional return visits to the mold components company his father co-founded.
