PRC began nearly twenty years ago under the vision of Founder and CEO Arthur Krantz. Since the beginning, Krantz's interest in the environment has been a major influence of his mission as an entrepreneur. Already a success in the close-out business, Krantz began work to develop a broader, more efficient means of recycling durable consumer goods. Arthur Krantz and PRC engineers developed a new method of recycling whereby returned products could be "re-manufactured " into high quality market alternatives available throughout North America. In the past 15 years, PRC and its partners have pioneered and revolutionized the remanufacturing industry.
