Anniversary Events Planned
As part of the celebration, PHD will host the annual International Sales Meeting
this July in Fort Wayne. Over 300 personnel from our worldwide distribution
network and honorary guests will attend this year's special activities. PHD
is excited to host this event and the opportunity to showcase its facilities and
employees.
The Beginning
For fifty years, PHD's foundation for their customers has been innovation, superior
performance, quality, service, and value. From humble beginnings in 1957,
founders Harry Sr., Jack, Tom, and Jim Neff along with Dick Futter and Dan Flickinger
had a vision.... manufacture a small bore pneumatic/hydraulic cylinder that provides
customers durability, reliability, strength, and rebuildability for extended value. From
this vision, PHD and the Tom ThumbŪ 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 world-class customer service,
support, and cost-effective products. PHD's commitment to excellence can be summarized
by its driving force: "PHD will provide the customers what they
want, when they want it."
Appreciation
PHD celebrates its 50th anniversary recognizing the same principles from the beginning
that remain at the forefront today: innovation, the highest level of
customer service, superior quality, strong individual work ethic, and a passion
to do the right thing. These principles have been evident not only within
PHD, but throughout the business network. PHD sincerely thanks all past
and present employees, distribution partners, suppliers, the Board of Directors,
and most importantly PHD customers for contributing to 50 years of success.
