a long way to the top if you want to rock and roll. PDM is always " First in Tubes " PDM draws on nearly 50 years of experience in the HVAC industry from our origins in Europe. PDM was the First one in 2008 to introduce the polyethylene tough jacket resistant insulation to the North American market (aka white insulation); in 2013 PDM was the First European lineset company to establish a production in the United States and in 2017 PDM was the First to become UL CERTIFIED for flame and smoke rating (ASTM E84 25/50) and UL performance verified for UV resistance.
In February of 2023, PDM became a copper manufacturer and the First fully integrated Made in USA lineset company, being
able to produce its own copper tubing, its own insulation and its own pre-insulated linesets and single rolls. PDM is always " First in Tubes" Overview: Engaged in designing, automating, and improving machinery and equipment, maintaining drawings and documentation.
