Package and Product Integrity Blog

DDL is a well-established expert in medical device package testing, offering a full range of package testing and environmental testing services… from accelerated aging testing, shelf-life studies and microbial barrier testing to distribution simulations and exploration of package integrity and strength.

DDL specializes in serving the medical device industry but also works with customers in the chemical, electronics, mechanical, aerospace, consumer products and automotive industries. Our client roster includes many industry leaders and research laboratories.

DDL, a third party testing lab, was founded in 1990 by John Hart, CEO, and Patrick Nolan, COO, both of which still work out of the home office, in Eden Prairie.  John and Pat had previously worked for Eden Prairie based testing products supplier MTS Systems.  The two started DDL (Distribution Dynamic Labs) when they discovered that their department at MTS was being divested.

In January of 2003 DDL opened a second lab in Costa Mesa, CA.  That lab has recently moved to Fountain Valley, CA.  In September of 2007 DDL merged with TCP Reliable, a full service manufacturer for temperature controlled packaging products and phase change materials, located in Edison, NJ.   In January of 2009 we opened our third full service lab open in Edison, NJ.
