PRC Industries is an industry leader in returned product management, return center services, remanufacturing, reprocessing, repairing and recycling of returned industrial and consumer products. Instead of discarding millions of defective, damaged, and un-repairable returned products into America’s overflowing landfills, which cost manufacturers millions of dollars to transport, process and dispose of annually, PRC developed environmentally conscious proprietary remanufacturing, reprocessing and recycling processes with the highest recovery rate of those very products without the use of new replacement parts.

Arthur Krantz
Founder and Chairman of the Board
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.
"Each and every one of us has to find a way, no matter how seemingly small, to abolish poverty in our community."
— Arthur Krantz
PRC Chairman, Arthur Krantz, founded 'We Care for Kids' almost two decades ago. Local, and national, businesses contribute to his efforts to service the community of disadvantaged, needy children, on Long Island. Together with a handful of volunteers, holiday parties, accommodating thousands of youngsters, are the culminations of each year's work. The grand events are filled with toys and celebration, as well as poignant memories which will last a life time.
Donors are businesses and individuals, which are local and national. These 'Angels of Industry' are the life line for We Care for Kids. They collectively enable the charity to fulfill its mission. Events usually accommodate one thousand children, per day, for three to four consecutive days. Even though some four thousand children are reached yearly, there are thousands more who are turned away, due to lack of funding. All donations are welcome.
