An important choice

The selection of proper dies and lubricants are two of the most important

and essential requirements for wire drawing applications. This determines the

quality and helps reduce the cost of drawing, in terms of maintenance and by

increasing the life of the die and reduction of lubricant consumption.

Kay Pee Dies, established in 1968, produces tungsten and carbide dies for

wire, bar, tube, drawing, cold heading, extrusion and special applications. The

company services customers from India, South East Asia, Nepal, the Middle East

and Africa.

It also acts as an exclusive distributor for Pan Chemicals SpA, Italy, for distribution

and sale of its wire drawing lubricants.
