"PCMC is eager to work with Fox Valley Technical College on this important project. This new press will be a benefit not only to the college, but also to PCMC customers and other equipment manufacturers," states the co. Adds Terry Bergen , FVTC executive director, "[We're] tremendously excited about the opportunity to acquire a PCMC Avanti press and work with [them].
