About Us

Professional and Responsive

Our mission is simple. At Professional NDE Services Group (PNDE) we strive to be the leading provider of NDE services throughout the Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky tri-state region.

PNDE was formed to answer industry’s call for something that once existed – professional and responsive NDE services. The initial step of our founding Principals was to create a strong corporate identity to stand behind. The PNDE brand is rooted in our core values and focus on professionalism throughout the company.  The unity symbol in our logo stresses customer partnerships and teamwork among our staff.

While our name may be new, PNDE professionals bring decades of collective hands-on experience to each project.  Inspired through a culture of empowerment, PNDE team members have a well-earned reputation for going the extra mile to meet the needs of our customers while advancing our company and the industries we serve.
