Paramount Die
Company
Stand K09
Paramount Die offers expertise in all
areas of the wire industry with sales
engineers averaging more than 20
years in the industry. Several wire
industry trends have dramatically
shaped the company’s development
over the past ten years. Perhaps the
most dramatic has been the
ever-growing trend for wire drawers to
outsource their finished die
requirements.
As this has caused wire drawers to
become somewhat more dependent
on die suppliers, great pressure has
been placed on Paramount to increase
capacity for die finishing, to reduce
finished die costs, and to improve lead
times.
Paramount Die Company has been
able to reduce die costs by
standardising on cost-effective carbide
inserts and by increasing quality and
capacity through automation. The
company is working to take the human
factor out of the manufacturing
process.
Many of its highly automated
machines now run on “Lights Out
Operation” meaning that they will
continue to produce product as long
as there is raw material being fed into
the system.
This not only improves production
output, but also the quality (eliminating
the human aspect).
Paramount’s highly automated
production equipment combines high
volume speed and efficiency with
superior accuracy and repeatability.
Average lead times have been reduced
from three weeks to just less than five
days by investing heavily in finished
inventory.
Paramount is leading the way on
another industry trend, “Eco-Friendly
Products”. It is a leader in supplying
eco-friendly products to the wire
industry and its die design allows the
carbide insert to be easily recycled.
Many of its customers worldwide now
participate in this programme.
