About PDR

PDR designs, manufactures, and distributes IR Rework Stations, Industrial X-Ray Inspections Systems, and IR Thermal Test equipment for the electronics component and PCB assembly industry. Based in the UK and USA, they also have regional technology centers in France.

PDR was formed in 1985 by Philip Gibbs, David Lowrie and Roger Gibbs and their first pioneering IR system was launched in 1987. Over 37+ years later, PDR is still at the forefront of SMD rework, X-Ray and Test technologies working with many of the world's top names in

  • Mobile Phone, PDA, Tablet, Laptop, Desktop, Server repair.
  • Consumer electronics, Set-top, TV, Game Console repair.
  • Aerospace, Weapons, Avionics, Automotive, Transport electronics.
  • Control and systems repair, R&D, assembly and repair rework.

We at ESA group are a channel partner for PDR and support customers, provide Sales and Technical Support service. There are other regional offices plus a global network of professional sales/support partners who have successfully supplied over 4500 systems to the world's electronics industry since 1987.

There are many different Rework, X-Ray and Test System choices to choose from but customers feel comfortable to choose PDR, returning in time and time again to benefit from their advanced precision thermal engineering Rework Systems, X-Ray imaging quality, and highly accurate and affordable Thermal Testing Solutions.
