HISTORY
In 1946, D&R Ltd. opened in Santa Barbara, California. Seventeen years later, Varo, Inc. bought the product lines and formed the

Electro Kinetics Division. In 1977, this division was purchased by HTL Industries; and two years later, Allegheny International acquired HTL Industries in its entirety.

Pacific Scientific Company purchased HTL Industries and the Electro Kinetics Division at the end of 1986. Twelve years later, Danaher Corporation bought the Pacific Scientific Company; and in 1999, PS/EKD relocated to a new facility in Carpinteria, California (12 miles south of Santa Barbara).

Today, PS/EKD is a recognized leader in the design and manufacture of specialized, high speed electrical power rotating equipment with a customer list spanning the globe.
