    PDC Europe

    PDC Europe

    THE LEADING PAN-EUROPEAN SLEEVING FAMILY SINCE 1984.

    Innovative sleeving solutions are in our DNA

    PDC stands for Protection, Décoration and Conditionnement – the three key sleeve functions of labelling, protection and bundling.

    Entrepreneur Jean-Claude Vandevoorde founded PDC France in 1984, in the basement of the family home. Following a business trip to the US in 1983 where he discovered the popular tamper evidence sleeving system technology, Jean-Claude created his own company to design, manufacture and sell machines using this process.

    Re-named PDC Europe soon afterwards, the company rapidly developed as Jean-Claude’s forward-thinking spirit captured the exciting opportunities presented by his growing understanding of product labelling. Joined by his wife Margaret, Jean-Claude’s vision saw him design the world’s first stretch sleeve applicator, with the company’s position as a world leader in stretch sleeve technology quickly following.

    Jean-Claude and Margaret’s son Derek Vandevoorde became PDC Europe’s president in 2010, working in close collaboration with his sister Céline who heads up the Customer Service division, ensuring the family ethos on which the company is built remains just as strong today.
