Announcing a Big Change at Davies!

Posted by Marketing Manager at Davies Molding

May 20, 2019 9:44:24 AM

We are excited to share our new logo and new look with you!  We announced earlier this month that we updated the Davies Molding logo to a more modern look.  We chose a new logo that is symbolic of our standard product line, knobs.  We are a molding company and the molding process was in mind when we created the letter D in the D hex symbol.  The lines are designed to represent the molding process and flow of plastic material into the mold cavities. Even though our look has changed, we are still remain experts in injection and compression insert molding with over 80 years of experience.

If you use the Davies Molding logo on you website or in any of your marketing, please update it with our new design.

A Summer Well Spent

Posted by Marketing Manager at Davies Molding

The beginning of August brings a close to The Heico Companies' summer internship program. For the last eight weeks, Jacqueline DeWitt worked at Davies Molding as the Marketing Intern. It has been a great learning experience for her.

From the moment I walked into Davies, everyone made me feel at home. People in both the office and the plant were excited to share their knowledge with me. Some of the employees have worked for Davies Molding for decades, and I think that says a lot about the company. They're more than just co-workers but a family. I'm so grateful to have been a part of the Davies Molding community for these past few weeks. 

I learned something new everyday. My supervisors were extremely dedicated to providing me with stimulating projects/tasks, creating a worthwhile experience. The internship was a great opportunity for me to become more familiar with marketing and the manufacturing industry. Davies Molding exposed me to products and programs that are applicable for my future. I now feel more equipped to enter the workforce. 

- Jacqueline DeWitt

The Davies Molding employees feel that this internship program is extremely beneficial for our company as well as the interns. We wish Jacqueline the best as she studies abroad and continues her college career!

The Interns Tour Davies

Posted by Marketing Manager at Davies Molding

Jul 13, 2018 10:17:00 AM

The Heico Companies interns recently took a tour of the Davies Molding plant to learn how our knobs and handles are manufactured. Geared up in closed toe shoes and safety glasses, they saw the molding process firsthand. The tour, given by Derran Smith and Jenny DuPrey, was rich with manufacturing knowledge applicable to the interns. It was a great opportunity for them to see the products that are made in the industry they are a part of this summer.

Jacqueline DeWitt, the Marketing Intern for Davies Molding, was excited to show her fellow interns where she's been working for the past few weeks. After the tour, she asked them what they thought of Davies:

“I was truly fascinated by the variety of methods with which Davies manufactures their products. However, I was most impressed with how well they are keeping pace with increasingly sophisticated prototyping technology like 3D printing.” - Preston Chloupek, Executive Finance Intern for Pettibone LLC

“I loved interacting with the materials produced by Davies Molding’s and seeing what great detail is put forth during the production stages. Being a consumer, it is rare to see an item before it is completely polished so I found this new perspective to be very fascinating.” - Jermell Shackelford, Finance Intern for The Heico Companies Mergers and Acquisitions.

We always look forward to giving the interns a tour of our plant. We had a great time teaching them about the manufacturing process and we hope they enjoyed learning what Davies is all about.
