Tap Into the Widest Selection of Date Stamps and Plugs
It’s time to begin preparations for the year-end date stamp change- overs. To save time and alleviate stress,
capitalize on one-stop shopping by ordering from Progressive
Components.
Progressive leads with the widest variety of daters
available in the industry. In addition, Progressive’s
date
stamps are compatible and interchangeable with most other
brands on the market, and it’s easy to order using
the
convenient plug
matching template.
As always, all of Progressive’s center replacement inserts are laser etched for
easy identification at year-end chang-eovers, plus with its full line available globally, customers are assured of
timely delivery no matter where the tool is being built or run.
For assistance with identifying any mystery plugs or rings, click

Progressive recently returned from exhibiting at the K 2010
trade fair in Dusseldorf, Germany. The show was very
successful and team members from not only Progressive but
also its sister companies Roehr Tool Corporation and AST
Technology were able to meet with many customers and
prospective customers to show them some very new and
innovative products.
In addition to demonstrating new advances in mold component
technology, Progressive also took the opportunity to meet
with several of its channel partners and distributors that
are based in Europe, including
WEMA GmbH from
Germany;
Dahanan representing
Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg;
Rigon from Italy;
Oy Scalar from
Finland,
Mould & Die Solutions
from South Africa;
Svoboda representing
the Czech Republic and Slovakia;
Mouldshop
representing the UK and Ireland;
ASAF Industries from
Israel; and
A Marciniak from
Poland.
To access a list of all of Progressive’s channel partners
and distributors, visit
www.procomps.com.
For those who missed the K trade fair, you can still access
our virtual booth by visiting
www.procomps.com/K2010.
It will remain online through November 26.

It's Been Said...

Great customer service and ease of ordering make
Progressive the date stamp supplier of choice for
A&O Mold.
|
Progressive recently spoke with Ron Schmuhl, who is a mold designer at A & O Mold, about why he prefers to order date stamps, plugs and other components from us rather than other suppliers. This is what Ron had to say:
“We order a lot from Progressive because of the fantastic service we get. We could buy our daters from anyone, but Progressive’s customer service department is the best. Those gals know their products and they keep me out of trouble.”
Ron says his customers demand very specific date coding, so A & O uses the Multi-Dater style most of the time, saying, “That style is a space saver and more economical to use because I only have to design and machine for one dater in a mold. We buy most of our components from Progressive, in fact, and it’s mostly due to the ease with which I can order,
but it’s also because the pricing is competitive and I get what I need the
very next day.”
