Medical device and hygiene manufacturer for healthcare and foodservice infection prevention
PDI manufactures infection-prevention devices and cleaning solutions across three operating divisions: healthcare (interventional care, disinfection systems, patient care), foodservice (commercial cleaning and food-safety compliance), and contract manufacturing for consumer and pharma brands. Manufacturing-heavy hiring (36% of open roles) and active projects around pilot batches, predictive maintenance, and control-system implementation reflect an operationally complex, compliance-intensive business managing quality, regulatory audit readiness, and production efficiency in parallel.
PDI operates as a three-division manufacturer serving healthcare systems, foodservice operators, and contract customers. The healthcare division focuses on infection-prevention solutions including UVC disinfection systems (via the Tru-D SmartUVC acquisition), interventional care products, and environment-of-care offerings. Sani Professional targets foodservice with cleaning and food-safety products designed to simplify regulatory compliance. The contract manufacturing arm partners with consumer and pharmaceutical brands on alternate-delivery systems and white-label production. Founded in 1977, PDI operates from Woodcliff Lake, New Jersey, with a workforce of 1,001–5,000 employees, managed on Salesforce, Microsoft Dynamics 365, and legacy ERP systems (AS/400, SQL Server).
PDI uses Allen-Bradley and Siemens industrial controls, CMMS for maintenance management, HPLC and LIMS for quality testing, and AS/400 and SQL Server for ERP and data. Salesforce and Microsoft Dynamics 365 handle sales and business operations.
Key projects include predictive maintenance initiatives, cycle counting programs, control-system implementation to reduce damages and re-picks, and post-marketing device changes. Pain points center on regulatory audit compliance, machine downtime, quality defects, and managing complex supplier and customer relationships.
