We understand how important it is for your company to be first in the market with new products,
and how critical it is to get a head start on research to accomplish this. We also appreciate your
problem in obtaining process equipment on an ongoing basis.
Because of our understanding of your needs, Personal customer service is our top priority. We
have a dedicated team that will cooperate with you, enabling you to have state-of-the-art,
high performance process equipment within the shortest delivery period, so that you can get
off to a quick start.
For over two decades, PDC has supplied the process industry with high quality equipment performing
under diverse technical conditions. We've gained a reputation for taking on tough projects,
producing one-of-a-kind systems or products, and meeting tight delivery deadlines.
Our objective is to deliver the highest quality product quickly at the lowest cost possible.
To achieve this, PDC's engineering is operated at a state-of-the-art technical level using
the latest high speed computers. PDC uses computerized drafting, design, and finite element
stress analysis to engineer all of our products. We created several customized, sophisticated
software packages to increase our engineering efficiency and reduce delivery periods to our
customers. By optimizing our operations through modern technology and designing new
software packages to suit specific needs, PDC's engineering department stays a step ahead.
PDC's modern manufacturing facility is streamlined and efficient to keep manufacturing costs
down. Several computerized, numerically controlled machining centers easily perform the most
complicated machining operations. Computer-aided manufacturing optimizes tool selection,
cutting paths, and loading/unloading of programs into the machining centers.
By manufacturing and assembling all critical items in our own facility, PDC avoids "mark-ups"
charged by outside vendors and passes the savings on to our customers.
Quality Control is an overriding and ever-present consideration at PDC. We conduct intensive
incoming, in-process, and final inspections. PDC uses MIL-STD-105 for checking and controlling
items produced in large quantities. Our facility is certified to Section VIII - Division 1
of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, the National Electric Code, MIL-I-45208, and
Rockwell International Specifications. Your equipment will be fabricated to conform with
your company's design requirements.
We are fully aware you may have proprietary information that you're hesitant to release to
outside vendors. PDC signs and strictly adheres to secrecy agreements. We have signed secrecy
agreements with many leading chemical and petrochemical companies, and have earned their
confidence and trust. We will be glad to do the same for your company.
We hope you will make PDC part of your team, and take advantage or our experience,
advanced technology, and personalized service. Give us an opportunity to show you why
so many facilities just like yours turn to PDC for all their special processing needs.
