A recent visit to the PDCA office brought together exciting news from one member company and a sneak peek at something special for the entire pile driving industry.
When PVE USA Director David Kesser and new Marketing Coordinator Riley Frazier stopped by PDCA headquarters to share details about the company's upcoming rebrand to Dieseko USA, effective July 1, they found themselves getting an exclusive first look at a brand-new PDCA 2026 Annual Conference shirt that -at the time - was in development.
PDCA Executive Director Frank Peters was pleased to welcome the visitors and couldn't resist putting David on the spot.
"Try it on," Frank suggested, handing over one of the first samples of the new shirt.
As David modeled the shirt, Frank explained that it will officially debut at the PDCA 2026 Annual Conference, taking place July 7-9 at the Four Seasons Resort Orlando at Walt Disney World® Resort. He noted that while conference attendees will have the first opportunity to show it off, the shirt is available to anyone who wants to demonstrate pride in the driven pile industry.
"If you aren't going, you can still show your support for your industry whenever and wherever you wear it," Frank said.
The limited-edition camp-style shirt features custom embroidery celebrating the driven pile industry, along with a touch of Florida flair. It also highlights the conference theme, Pile Driving Around the World, making it a unique keepsake from this year's gathering.
Members can select their preferred size when ordering through The PDCA Store, and shirts will be shipped once production is complete. Conference attendees may want to act quickly--they may order one today and it will be ready for pick-up when they arrive at the conference registration desk in Orlando.
PDCA is encouraging everyone attending the Annual Conference to pre-purchase a shirt and wear it during the Conference Opening Reception. It's a great way to show industry pride, connect with fellow attendees, and celebrate the profession that brings us together.
And for those who won't be making the trip to Orlando, the shirt still offers a fun and stylish way to support the pile driving industry throughout the year.
Congratulations to David, Riley, and the team at PVE USA on their exciting transition to Dieseko USA, and thank you for stopping by PDCA headquarters to share the news--and to help showcase one of the first looks at this year's conference shirt.
