For May, we are highlighting our Tom Thumb Cylinder®. Since our humble beginnings, we've always been about function. The Tom Thumb Cylinder is a living testimony to this fact, and is still a popular product choice among many manufacturers.
This month we are spotlighting a Design World video product review for PHD's new line of OEM products, Optimax™. Built on the foundation of long-life products for industrial automation, PHD Optimax products are actuators designed to meet machine builders' performance requirements at a competitive price.
Lastly, PHD recently announced plans to invest in multi-axis CNC machinery, which will mean faster delivery times and continued quality that you've come to expect from PHD!
To your continued automation success,

PHD Invests in Facilities
| | |
In an effort to improve delivery times and continue to provide the highest quality products, PHD has made an investment to enhance internal capabilities with multi-axis CNC machinery.
PHD is expanding operations in their Huntington, Indiana facility by investing $4.18 million in multi-axis CNC equipment, which will create up to 22 news jobs by 2017.
"PHD has a history of more than 55 years developing and manufacturing high-quality and long-life industrial automation components," said David French, vice president of operations. "Our plans for growth enable us to compete more in the global marketplace, while providing the opportunity to add new machining capabilities, as well as employment in our community."
