Peterson Beckner Industries, Inc. (PBI) was established September 1, 1992 as the result of a merger between Peterson Brothers Steel Erection Company and Regional Contracting Corporation.

The merger of the companies created an organization with established strategic capabilities of estimating, engineering, field operations and a fleet of debt-free heavy construction equipment. The experience and proven success of the two firms has provided PBI with essential financial resources of working capital, established bank lines of credit and a strong surety bond relationship.
