WHERE QUALITY SETS STANDARDS
We have been producing dies with different mouldings for over 30 years, such as the PCO 1810 and PCO 1881 for the beverage industry, as well as dies for general caps. Thanks to the cold hobbing process, we can manufacture these dies for you in next to no time with a high surface quality and without any reworking. All our dies boast precise dimensions, exact geometry and an extended service life.
