PDT joins the Astronics family as PDT, an Astronics Company
We deliver on the promise of truly seamless product development, innovation through execution. By all counts, we do it pretty well... Over 75% of PDT's programs are repeat business from clients who've come to appreciate how our team becomes a natural extension of theirs. We build close, trusted relationships on solutions that rarely fail to exceed expectations.
After a solid history of successful collaboration, we expanded our capabilities with a strategic partnership with Astronics CSC, a design, manufacturing and management company. Their team of skilled engineers, project managers, manufacturing experts and more, are driven by our same ethos: deliver the quality product you expect and service you need for success. Based in Waukegan, Illinois, Astronics CSC can provide state-side manufacturing and assembly as well as specialized services for regulated industries, including documentation, certification, testing and environmental compliance.
