This summer, we got a new addition to the Davies Molding family.  We would like to introduce you to Jim.  Jim is our new Business Development Manager.

Summer is coming to an end, which means it's almost time for our interns to head back to school. This year, we had Connor work in our engineering department. We asked him to tell us about his experience. Here's what Connor had to say:

Yesterday was National Forklift Safety Day 2016.  We use forklifs at our plant, so it was important to us to do something to participate in this event.  

Yesterday was the last day of GPS 2016.  After 3 warm, sunny days in Calgary, the show is officially over.  We had more visitors stop by on day 3.  They expressed great interest in the Davies Descender Fracking Series.  We enjoyed explaining the benefits of these dissolvable frac balls.  If you're interested in learning more, please Click Here. 

Day 2 turned out to be a great day at the GPS 2016 show in Calgary.  We had many visitors come by the booth to learn more about Davies and our Descender line of dissolvable frac balls.  We had one person think our frac balls were candy!  We added a disclaimer, to make sure nobody would eat them.  They are dissolvable, but not for human consumption.  This certainly became a topic of conversation.  

It was a beautiful day in Calgary yesterday with warm, sunny skies.  The perfect start to GPS 2016!  We set up the Davies Molding booth #2123 in the Corral exhibit hall at Stampede Park and were ready to go.  

It's summer!  Technically, it's still spring, but with the recent warmer temperatures in Chicagoland, summer is in the air!  That means that it's time for Davies Molding to have a summer intern work with us.  We're excited to have an engineering intern this summer.  We would like for you to meet Connor.

Warning, warning! Hurricane knobs have been spotted at Davies Molding in Carol Stream, IL!

Davies Molding was happy to host The Heico Companies' top legal partners as part of its annual Year in Review.  The participants visited our facility in Carol Stream, IL, to see firsthand, how Davies makes such a wide range of knobs, handles, cases and custom plastic components.  Everyone had the opportunity to visit each of our departments: tool room, shipping, compression molding, injection molding and finishing.  They were given an overview of each department's capabilities and able to see our manufacturing process in action. The participants also had a chance to ask us questions.

In 2015, Davies Molding participated with our parent company, The Heico Companies, LLC., in Tour de Cure.  Heico brought together a team of 20 riders that raised almost $20,000 in support of the American Diabetes Association.
