As this has caused wire drawers to become somewhat more dependent on die suppliers, great pressure has been placed on Paramount to increase capacity for die finishing, to reduce finished die costs, and to improve lead times. Paramount Die Company has been able to reduce die costs by standardising on cost-effective 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 its highly automated machines now run on “Lights Out Operation” meaning that they will continue to produce product as long as there is raw material being fed into the system. This not only improves production output, but also the quality (eliminating the human aspect). Paramount’s highly automated production equipment combines high volume speed and efficiency with superior accuracy and repeatability.

Paramount Die offers expertise in all areas of the wire industry with sales engineers averaging more than 20 years in the industry. Several wire industry trends have dramatically shaped the company’s development over the past ten years. Perhaps the most dramatic has been the ever-growing trend for wire drawers to outsource their finished die requirements.
