In 1966, Schurman founded The Plastic Forming Company (PFC) in Woodbridge, Connecticut. Initially, PFC focused on machinery development and specialty custom blow molding. In 1969, PFC entered the double-wall blow molded carrying case business using a new process developed by Schurman. For the following decade, and driven by continuous product and process improvements, PFC-type cases gained wide acceptance owing to their unique combination of extreme durability, product protection, styling freedom, and moderate cost. The market and the Company grew rapidly as these cases became the preferred method to package a wide variety of consumer and industrial products, including hand tools and power tools, chain saws, camping lanterns, and postage meters. To accommodate that growth, PFC established and licensed other companies in the U.S. and in Europe, and eventually ceased case manufacturing to concentrate on product design and development, mold building, and the design, development, manufacture, and sale of blow molding equipment for its licensees. In the spring of 2012 PFC introduced their AllConditions™ line of weather resistant cases. AllConditions™ cases are an affordable alternative for those looking to purchase a protective case. With a proprietary gasket sealing system to keep your gear clean and dry, AllConditions™ weather-resistant cases are designed to lock out dirt and moisture while still being affordable. AllConditions™ cases have been certified IP53 by a nationally accredited independent testing laboratory.
