In addition, Paramount has worked to deliver higher value. This has been achieved by standardising wire drawing dies to cost-e ective carbide inserts, and by automating production to maximise both quality and economics. Many of Paramount’s automated processes can operate without operator interaction for long periods, which allows the process to continue to manufacture product as long as there is available feedstock. Paramount’s automated production equip- ment combines high volume, speed and e ciency with accuracy and repeatability. All of this, combined with Paramount’s commitment to maintain substantial inventory, has enabled average lead times to be reduced from weeks to often less than a few days. As the company continues to grow as a high-volume producer of carbide drawing dies, it becomes important to continually invest in new manufacturing technology. Paramount has invested in becoming one of the wire industry’s leading suppliers of eco-friendly products, as its die design allows the carbide insert to be easily recycled. Thousands of kilograms of used inserts are returned to Paramount each year to be graded, sorted and transformed to good-as-new condition.

Paramount Die will exhibit a full range of wire drawing dies and related equipment. Featured products include the TR-series carbide drawing inserts, shape dies, extrusion dies, polycrystalline diamond dies, ParaLoc™ pressure and non-pressure holders, and accessories.

Paramount Die Company Stand: 10B38

Paramount Die Company strives to help wire drawers maximise their process, productivity and pro tability, by working closely with customers to adapt to the constantly changing business environment. In recent years several wire industry trends have shaped the company’s development. One of the more substantial of these is the trend toward greater outsourcing of wire drawing dies; higher value wire drawers have concluded that die making is not a core capability. With Paramount’s highly automated manufacturing process, stringent quality control and continuous product development, wire drawers have decided to outsource their wire die supply, resulting in process and productivity improvement. However, this trend has also caused wire drawers to become more reliant upon their die suppliers. Paramount has viewed this as a challenge, and has responded by working to reduce lead times and increase its ability to react quickly to customer needs.

Upgrade your choice of fire-retardant tapes

With the requirements of the Construction Products Regulation (CPR) and the challenge to meet tougher fire survival demands for cables, Scapa has responded with the development of a new range of tapes.

Halogen free to UL 2885, the Scapa XFR50 range utilises an innovative, high-performance coating that, unlike traditional

mixes, doesn’t contain organic binders and can help take you to the next level of CPR.

For power or fibre optic cable applications, choose your fire-retardant tapes wisely. Choose Scapa XFR50.
