Davis-Standard Limited to offer die rebuild and cleaning services in West Midlands

Davis-Standard’s UK subsidiary in the West Midlands, Davis-Standard Limited, will offer blown film die rebuild and cleaning services from 1 August this year.

The new services offered at its Brierley Hill site will apply to all blown film dies from Davis-Standard product lines and heritage brands, including Gloucester Engineering, with all non Davis-Standard brands considered on a case-by-case basis. This regional capability further supports Davis-Standard’s large installed base of blown film equipment throughout Europe, the Middle East and Africa.

“Our service team is highly knowledgeable in the cleaning of blown film dies as well as the disassembly and assembly of various key components,” said Mark Woodgate, Managing Director of Davis-Standard Limited.

“Our vigorous component inspection programme ensures customers are immediately aware of any parts that may require refinishing or replacement. This can often result in great cost savings when compared to purchasing a new die. Having a die professionally rebuilt by the original equipment manfucturer using certified replacement parts also brings a level of assurance that others cannot provide.”

The rebuild services will be located within a dedicated area of the Davis-Standard Limited facility, and staffed by technicians with decades of experience in extrusion and blown film processes.
