PDC Machines of Warminster, Pennsylvania, manufactures high-pressure compression equipment for clients in the industrial gas, specialty gas, hydrogen fuel cell, and petrochemical industries. Established in 1977, PDC Machines is a second-generation family-owned and operated business. The company works closely with clients to design, fabricate, test and commission custom-made products from diaphragm compressors to alternative energy equipment such as fuel cell hydrogen compressors, batch reactors with glass or metal vessels, magnetic stirrers, syringe pumps and more.

Recognizing that 95% of consumers live outside of the United States, the company sells internationally to a variety of markets. These include TPP partners Malaysia and Vietnam. Specifically, the company signed a contract of about $2 million in sales to Vietnam. In Malaysia, PDC had more than $1 million in orders in 2013. The company expects a significant amount of new business in Malaysia in 2015. Because of this growth in exports, PDC can continue exploring new markets. Most recently, this has included another TPP partner, Japan.
