According to Mr. Clarence "Bill" Karney, President & CEO of PDSS, "We didn't have the high cost of any relocation...this has been a major cost savings for operations. Our entire management team constantly communicates through the Internet, email and cellphone...we would use smoke signals if we had to so that we could continue to assist and control Removal of Pathogens, Bacteria and Food borne microorganisms to give complete protection from the Stable to the Table."
One of the primary reasons that the team at PDSS is spending all this time and effort is to enhance food safety and risk reduction programs for the entire food industry from the producer, packer, processor, restaurant, hotels, distributor, retail, transportation and the consumer. PDSS utilizes the Whitewater Ozone Patented Process which has certification documentation from the USDA/FSIS and OSHA REGS. The Company believes that its programs, systems and proposed distribution centers in the marketplace are second to none.
