At PDC Europe, you’ll often hear us say that “innovation is in our DNA,” and it’s true. Another vital part of our DNA, however, is our team – the people who transforms the packaging dreams into reality.
We’re proud to have such excellent people working together under one roof, and we pride ourselves on our determination to constantly improve, learn and innovate.

We believe that being friendly, considerate, and generous will ultimately help us to be better at our work. We strive for continuous improvement in all that we do, from processes and solutions to machinery we want to be sure that we’re providing the best that we possibly can. Finally, we ask for respect.

The PDC Europe Story
PDC was founded by our current CEO’s father, but it’s never been a one-man show.
In 1982, Jean-Claude Vandevoorde was on a work trip to the USA, where he discovered packaging sleeves with a 360° visual impact that hadn’t yet arrived in Europe. Inspired, he returned to France & together with his Scottish wife they built the team that made PDC Europe the leading sleeve applicator manufacturer that it is today.
Now that Derek Vandevoorde is leading the company, he’s continuing to forge the international approach that has been part of the company since its very beginning. Always keen to hear from others, raise them up and give them a chance, Derek Vandevoorde has continued to improve on his father’s legacy to make PDC Europe the company it is today.
