PCM manufactures its own proprietary elastomers specifically formulated for the challenges of the oil and gas industry. In 2012, PCM made the strategic move to service customers in Canada directly, subsequently adding key acquisitions of Amik Oilfield Equipment (2014) and Cougar Wellhead Services (2019).
