Hi Lou,

Yes, it is possible to run that kind of current on a PCB.
I have not had the personal experience of designing it,  but I
did work for a Power supply company for which that amount of 
current was not unusual.

For more details you might want to contact the PCB designer(s) at
one of the following companies, they should be able to give you the 
info that you need.

Good Luck !
