Meeting the increasing pressure

As the wire industry continues to globalise, there is increasing pressure on wire producers to remain profitable through process optimisation and product differentiation. Blachford is working to assist in this effort by offering wire drawers a unique and sustainable competitive advantage by leveraging its core competency – designing customer-specific lubricants and lubricant programmes – to achieve customers’ goals. Blachford has been supplying the world’s top wire producers since the 1950s with cost-effective, meticulously researched, and innovative wire drawing lubricant programmes. These programmes are designed to meet the requirements of customers’ processes and end product goals. Blachford does this by working closely with its customers to understand their processes and their goals. It then develops new products and/or lubricant programmes that are tailored to each customer’s specific requirements. Blachford’s approach of working collaboratively with its customers, its in-field engineers and its R&D team requires higher focus, but also offers greater overall value. Its processes, quality standards and R&D laboratories are fully ISO 9001 certified. Dr John Blachford, its owner, is well known throughout the chemical industry for his promotion of Responsible Care®, ensuring that his companies act as responsible corporate citizens. Blachford’s people are committed to working with its customers to ensure both optimum product performance and responsible application.
