ABOUT PDE
In 1985, I realized there was a lack of plastic product design and tooling expertise in the marketplace. There was a need for a company to design and develop high quality plastic products. With this idea, I founded Plastic Design Engineering (PDE). This company combines the technical knowledge of materials, tooling and production methods to help provide clients with the best possible product at the lowest possible cost.
It has now been over 35 years and what had started out as more of a design center for plastic products has grown into inventing and developing intellectual property in the medical and consumer areas with patented protection. This includes 35 issued United States Patents and over 45 International Patents.
Above are a few of my U.S. Issued Patents.
HERE’S HOW WE WORK
After defining your needs, I confer closely with you in generating a specific plan. This addresses product function, patentability, appearance, manufacturability and the cost-effectiveness of your product design in the marketplace. With emphasis on problem solving and Design for Manufacturing (DFM) techniques, Plastic Design Engineering combines its technical knowledge of materials and production methods to provide our clients with the best possible product at the lowest cost.
