DME TO FEATURE COMPLETE LINE OF MOLD BASES

Mold Base Straps
MADISON HEIGHTS, Mich. – May 6, 2008 – DME Company is pleased to introduce its now complete line of mold bases for moldmakers here in the United States and around the world.

This comprehensive line includes North American Mold Base classics like the popular Standard A Series, the Quick Delivery Systems (QDS) line and the MoldBasics® economy line. The offer is rounded out with the proven B Series, X or Stripper Plate Series, AX Series and T Series bases, and its mold base service offerings of Master Unit Die, Contour Roughing, and special machining. Less than a month ago, DME solidified its offer by adding the Edge Mold Base, a full-featured line with 70 sizes available for same day shipping.

The Edge made its debut at MoldMaking Expo in Novi, Mich. and offers moldmakers the best of both worlds. It not only features same-day shipping but is also the lowest-priced mold base on the market in its category by up to 20 percent.

Today’s mold-building process is complex and there are endless details and considerations that molders and moldmakers must take into account when building a mold. Because of this, customers may focus more on the core and cavity inserts as they have the most visible influence on the molded part. Yet mold base selection is just as critical to the profitability of the entire molding project. DME makes this selection simple so the moldmaker can spend time where it’s most critical.

“This level of importance is the reason DME is very excited to offer such a strong and versatile range of mold bases suitable for nearly any need our customers might have.” said Chuck Azzopardi, Global Business Manager. “As an essential resource to moldmakers worldwide, we take our job to provide quality, reliable and economic mold bases to our customers very seriously and hope that this selection will make a difference in our customers’ operations.”

Mold straps are offered in pairs and come in three different sizes to ensure adequate protection of the mold and molders. They are constructed of cast metal for strength and durability and their yellow powder coating provides corrosion resistance and high visibility. The straps can secure up to 1,740 lbs.

DME Company is an essential mold technologies resource to customers worldwide. Through aggressive new product development, global product standardization and a powerful combination of in-house manufacturing centers of excellence and strategic global partnerships, DME is helping customers succeed in changing times. The company’s standard-setting, comprehensive product line—including hot runner systems; control systems; mold bases and components; and mold making and molding equipment and supplies—is backed by expert technical service every step of the way.
