Pressure Systems International President and CEO Tim Musgrave gathered up visitors and employees inside the company’s San Antonio manufacturing plant and revealed the good news.

As the old banner showing one million sales of auto-inflation systems was lowered from the wall another banner behind it came into view and commanded plenty of applause: 1.5 million systems sold.

“This is something I don’t think very many people know,” Musgrave announced Wednesday. “We’re over 1.5 million now. I personally want to thank each of the individuals that work for us in every department.”

Musgrave’s team is eager to please. At the beginning of the plant tour during the Meritor & PSI 2019 Annual Fleet Technology Event, dozens of employees lined up at the plant’s entrance to greet fleet owners and managers and members of the media.

“If you take anything away, that’s all that I want you take away is that we’re here for you,” Musgrave said at the end of the tour. “We’re a team together. We work together. No one’s better than anyone else. Every one of us will do whatever it takes to do the job for you and the end-user.”

And that list of end-users is growing thanks to a longtime partnership with Meritor which markets PSI’s auto inflator through the Meritor Tire Inflation System (MTIS).

“You have the product focus of PSI which is singularly focused on tire solutions and you have the world class support of Meritor put together so it’s really an ideal mix,” James Sharkey, PSI vice-president of global sales and marketing, explained during a seminar prior to the tour.
