We proudly welcome our new Human Resources Manager, Luis Garcia. Luis recently started the position in March and is committed to facilitating the development of an engaged workforce at Davies Molding. In this role, he plans to ensure consistency, communication and integrity throughout the company.  

We are excited to introduce Jacqueline DeWitt, our Summer Marketing Intern! Jacqueline is from Glenview and attends the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. As a rising junior, she is looking forward to studying abroad in Dublin, Ireland this fall semester. Jacqueline is pursuing a degree in Advertising and Art & Design. Some of her hobbies include graphic design and singing. She is a proud member of the Girls Next Door, the university's premiere women a cappella group. 

We're thrilled to welcome the newest addition to the Davies Molding family, Judy!  Judy will be working in our inside sales department.

Out with the old, in with the new!  In our case, that's disposable cups and stainless steel water bottles.  Here at Davies, we know how important it is to be environmentally friendly AND stay hydrated, especially during these hot summer months.  So, last week, we held Hydration Day for the entire company. 

It's that time once again for another engineering intern to join our team for the summer months. This year, we welcome Joe to the team!

We've all participated in the standard team building activities at work. The ladies at Davies Molding decided to take part in an escape room as a team building activity. None of us had done an escape room before, so we weren't sure what to expect.

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.  

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.

Yesterday, we had the honor of having US Representative Peter Roskam (IL-06) speak to all of our employees.  He is truly interested in helping US businesses maintain their strength in the world economy.  As a member of the House Ways and Means Committee, he specifically talked about revising the US Tax Code to be more relevant to changing economic times.  He also talked of his recent trip to China and the troubles they are facing.
