RETURN TO IN STEP

Dave Lange Director of Sales

The competition is tough in this global economy. But D-M-E is here to support you every step of the way. This issue of InStep takes a look at some of the ways we’re working with you to advance your success around the globe.

For example, the hot runner market is especially, well, hot in Asia. So we’re expanding and enhancing our hot runner capabilities in Shenzhen, China, to ensure that customers operating there have the quality products—and service—they need.

Complying with Environmental Regulations
Another challenge our international customers are facing is compliance with RoHS and WEEE, two European Union directives that place restrictions on lead, mercury and various other pollutants that once were common in many products.

At D-M-E, we’ve adopted an approach that complies with the strictest possible enforcement of these directives. Learn more about it here. Rest assured that our products meet the most stringent environmental regulations around the world, while supporting your own “green” initiatives.

Choosing the Right Mold Base
D-M-E offers the most comprehensive mold base selection available. But mold base standards vary from region to region, and the right mold base varies from project to project. Which one do you choose for your application? Read Chuck Azzopardi’s article in this issue, and reference our quick mold base comparison chart.  

Global Demands Inspire New Products
That’s why we’re determined to develope globally standardized products whenever possible. Our new Polimax Hot Sprue Bushings, products resulting from one of our many global partnerships, are part of that effort.

And finally, speaking of new products, D-M-E is out there looking for smart solutions to the challenges of the global marketplace. Calling all inventors: We’re ready to turn your ideas into reality. Share them with us today by calling 800-626-6653 (U.S.) or 800-387-6600 (Canada)!
