PWM celebrates 25 years of pressure
British company PWM will be celebrating 25 years in the international wire and
cable industry in May 2009.
The company is believed to have pioneered the process of cold welding very
large rod sections with the introduction of its first rod welder in 1985. The
electro/pneumatic EP500, developed to meet industry demand for a machine
that could accommodate copper rod up to 12.5mm in diameter and aluminium
to 15mm, is still in production today and is one of PWM’s best sellers. At the
other end of the scale, on-going research and development has enabled PWM
to develop dies capable of joining wire as fine as 0.08mm in diameter.
Looking to the future, PWM’s managing director, Steve Mepsted, said: “Despite
the challenging market, we enjoyed record sales growth last year. Cold welding
continues to provide a consistent, reliable and cost effective method of welding
non-ferrous materials.”
