Pritzker, Managing Partner of The Pritzker Group. “Over the last several years, PECO’s management team has delivered a growth trajectory that has established the company as an industry leader. Our investment of new growth capital, plus the capital available under a new and substantially larger credit facility, will help drive key initiatives and accelerate PECO Pallet’s penetration of the rental market.”
