From an idea – to a world beater, an artist’s impression becomes an impressive reality. This first look at the proposed car was very close to the final product.
Thrust SSC in build at Farnborough in Q Shed, One of PDS’ skilled engineers fitting one of their high precision hubs and stub axles which performed faultlessly on the Supersonic Car.
Some of the Special Projects which have been performed by our small company are truly regarded as being “World Class”.
A British fighter aircraft tethered to a crane was first transported to the south and then assembled by one of our Directors, a Forty foot long Monster Car which rumbled almost silently across the desert with the sound of its mighty engines coming along behind later.
Oil Rigs of the North Sea, Britain’s fastest electric powered car, the World’s first global balloon, in fact anywhere where there is a special need for outstanding engineering skill and dedication to purpose you may well find the members of Team PDS.

Aseptic Sachet Filling Plant

Manufactured by PDS
Hydraulics and pipes
This Aseptic sachet filling plant was built from scratch in just over 3 weeks, with the final build and testing in our clean room facility.
The customer came to PDS with an idea and some sketches and was assisted at all stages of the creation of the machine from the manufacturing of the chassis and then components right through to the finished product assembly.
The basic frame was manufactured in stainless steel section and the cabinets were made in situ. We then built the electronics and electrical circuit boards in our own workshops. The hydraulics were then assembled and all the necessary pipework was created and connected and then the machine was tested for basic operations by ourselves.
Wiring assembly in situ
Ironing out all the teething problems for the customer by a series of detail consultations and information transfer, we were finally able to deliver to them a completely finished working prototype within four weeks of initial order. This tested out Aseptically at 100% at first attempt!
If you have a requirement for product manufacture and/or design development assistance we can offer a wide range of ‘in house’ services which will enable your project to progress in the shortest possible time.
