‘Sheet metal work and fabricating engineering specialists in design
and manufacture for the electronics and allied industries’


Introduction

Established as a private company in 1986 PDS has steadily invested and extended its capabilities as a direct response to our customers specific requirements.  Our mission is to continue to provide value, reliability and quality sub-contract sheet metal engineering to the highest standard.

To support this, in-house machining (CNC and conventional milling and turning) and finishing (high quality powder coating, wet spraying and stove enamelling) adds to our flexibility to enable your delivery schedules to be under our control and not governed by other suppliers or contractors.

New product can be assessed during or after development to enable you to have the most cost effective method of manufacture. With today’s technology information can be sent and assessed with speed, reducing overheads and enabling lower manufacturing costs to you and subsequently to your customer.

With the addition to our plant in December 2008 of our new Orion Model 3015 Laser Cutting Machine, we can now offer a superior and more cost efficient product, and the cutting of material to a depth of between 0.7mm and 16mm dependant on material specification. LVD’s Orion was our choice of Laser because it met our requirements in terms of value for money, flexibility, and ease of set up.

Since the installation of the Laser Cutter many of our existing valued customer’s have commented on the increase in accuracy and quality while enjoying the improved lead times this machine has enabled us to meet through our ability to increase our capacity and speed up production. Please see our Laser Cutting page for more information.
