Progressive Components Introduces New
Graphite Plugged Side Locks

Wauconda, IL (June 29, 2005) - Progressive Components, a leading supplier of components for the injection mould, blow mould and die cast tooling industries worldwide, has introduced new Graphite Plugged Side Locks as part of its Global Standards Program lineup.

Popular in Europe, Progressive’s locks are self-lubricating. In addition, the male lock is longer than most standard locks, which allows the two halves of the mould to be aligned sooner when closing, preventing any damage to tall standing cores and telescoping shut-offs.

Progressive is offering its high quality Graphite Plugged Locks in a wide variety of Metric sizes at prices competitive with others’. Inventory is available from seven locations on three continents, including its new, larger facility in Manchester, England.

“With the addition of the Graphite Plugged Locks and, more recently, DIN Ejector Pin stock to its inventory in the U.K., Progressive can now offer its current distributors in Portugal, Germany, Italy & Scandinavia an ever increasing range of products and a quicker response,” says Glenn Starkey, president. “The same goes for direct sales to the rest of Europe; and for our local market in the U.K., customers will get same or next day deliveries.”

For companies doing business in Europe, a Global Standards catalog may be requested by contacting Progressive Europe’s Managing Director John Wakefield at john.wakefield@procomps.com.
