Paramount Die
Stand: 10D37
Paramount Die o ers expertise in all areas
of the wire drawing process.
Several wire industry trends have
dramatically shaped Paramount Die
Company’s development over the past
ten years. Perhaps the most dramatic
has been the ever-growing trend for wire
drawers to outsource their nished die
requirements.
As this has caused wire drawers to be
become somewhat more dependent on
die suppliers, great pressure has been
placed on Paramount Die to increase
capacity for die nishing, to reduce
nished die costs, and to improve lead
times.
Paramount Die has been able to
reduce die costs by standardising on
cost e ective 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 the highly automated machines
now run on “Lights Out Operation”
meaning that they will continue to
produce products as long as there is raw
material being fed into the system. This
not only improves production output, but
also improves the quality (eliminating the
human aspect).
Paramount’s highly automated produc-
tion equipment combines high volume
speed and e ciency with superior
accuracy and repeatability. Average
lead times have been reduced from
three weeks to just less than ve days by
investing heavily in nished inventory.
Paramount also supplies eco-friendly
products to the wire industry. The die
design allows the carbide insert to be
easily recycled and many customers
worldwide now participate in this
programme.
