Davis-Standard's Extrusion Systems business relocates

Davis-Standard LLC has moved its Extrusion Systems business unit from Erkrath, Germany to the D-S Brookes plant in Birmingham, UK. The facility will serve as the European base for Betol and Repiquet equipment and Davis-Standard pipe and profile systems, as well as continuing to manufacture screws and barrels.

“The relocation will provide customers with extensive facilities for final machine assembly and machine acceptance testing,” comments Jim Murphy, president of Davis-Standard’s Extrusion Systems Group. “We believe this is a good move from both a business and customer service perspective and emphasizes our determination to strengthen our position in the European market.”
 
Following the move, the Converting Systems business remains in Erkrath.
