History of PHD, Inc.

For over fifty years, PHD's foundation for our customers has been innovation, superior performance, quality, service, and value.

Manufacture a small bore cylinder that provides customers durability, reliability, strength, and rebuild ability for extended value. From this vision, PHD and the Tom Thumb® cylinder were created. Today PHD has grown into a worldwide corporation embracing new markets, and ways of designing and thinking about industrial automation. From the first small bore cylinder to our present wide range of automation components, PHD provides you world class customer service, support, and cost-effective products. . Our commitment to excellence in product, service, and customer support can be summarized by our driving force. “PHD will provide you what you want when you want it”
