The History of SDT Ultrasound Solutions

Over their 49 year history SDT Ultrasound Solutions has made it their priority to listen to the needs of their customers and to develop useful solutions in concert with real industry demands. Their journey began in 1975 when, victim of the oil crisis, SDT founder Joseph-Henri DEGRAEVE launched his ultrasound adventure.

Intrigued by technology, Joseph spent much of his time in the field interacting with industry people. Through these privileged contacts and his unique imagination DEGRAEVE pioneered a product range that has forever changed the reliability landscape.

Today, under the leadership of Joseph’s son, his passion lives on. SDT remains a family company still very much in touch with its past, eager to innovate in step with technology while staying closely tied to its global client base.
